"If I Must Die" is written on a classic black and white keffiyeh. "Refaat Alareer" is written beneath the title.

A scene of hundreds of besser-block gravestones span a desolate and dusty landscape, with a distant damaged city in the background. One of the tombs has a piece of cardboard with "۞مِنۡهَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمۡ وَمِنۡهَا نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ تَارَةً أُخۡرَىٰ" (From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time) written on it. In the midground, a man with a sombre facial expression carries the shrouded body of a child.
A line of text says: "If I must die,"

A close-up of the first image, zoomed into one of the besser-blocks. A small watermelon seedling has sprouted from the dirt of the grave.
A line of text says: "you must live"

A hexagonal, white kite with a keffiyeh pattern is sitting on a table.
Some lines of text says: "to tell my story, to sell my things, to buy a piece of cloth and some strings, (make it white with a long tail)"

A child with dark, curly hair stands surrounded by grey, dusty rubble. He has dust on his feet and is looking up at the sky.
Some lines of text says: "so that a child, somewhere in Gaza, while looking heaven in the eye"

A scene depicting buildings being bombed, with billowing flames obscuring the sky.
Some lines of text says: "awaiting his dad who left in a blaze - and bid no one farewell"

The child from the previous image is looking out over a barren landscape with a great concrete wall in the distance, his back to us. There is rubble in the foreground.
Some text says: "not even to his flesh, not even to himself -"

A close up of the wall from the previous image, showing the white keffiyeh kite flying in the blue sky above it.
Some text says: "sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above"

A close up of the child's face, with the kite reflecting in his eyes, tears running down his face. The child's face is painterly.
Some text says: "and thinks for a moment an angel is there, bringing back love"

A painting of the besser-block tombstones, but the watermelon seedling has grown to cover the grave, into a watermelon vine. Small watermelons are growing and there are multiple yellow flowers.
Some text says: "If I must die, let it bring hope"

One of the watermelons has split open, showing off the colours of the Palestinian flag. It is surrounded by other watermelons and watermelon leaves.
Some text says: "let it be a tale"

🍉If I must die, let it bring hope. Let it be a tale 🪁

If you have any additional resources or funds that aren't listed, let me know and I will endeavor to add them on.

170 hours later and this behemoth project is completed. After being moved to tears three times by Dr. Alareer's poem, I needed to create something. Hopefully this honours his memory.

Hoping to get some funding from local orgs to get this printed into a physical booklet for distribution.

From the river, to the sea!
