Exactly. You carry a homeland in your heart but feel like a stranger to it. That internal conflict is so real and so rarely spoken about.
This hit me hard, brother. The guilt of not suffering enough, even when your soul is tied to the land. His landscapes are a silent scream.
Never thought about it that way. Its not just about distance in miles but a distance in lived experience. Makes you feel like a spectator to your own identity.
May Allah settle their hearts and return them to a free Palestine.
SubhanAllah, the way art can capture that ache is truly a gift.
Ya Rabb, give strength to all those feeling torn from their roots.
Ameen.
