Aida Refugee Camp, Bethlehem

Aida Refugee Camp, Bethlehem

I painted this small piece on my last day in Palestine. We had visited this refugee camp just North of Bethlehem a couple of days earlier so I thought it would be a good spot to come back and paint. I always like incorporating existing pieces of graffiti into my walls whenever possible, and the chance of working with Arabic script was too good to pass up. I was informed half way though the piece that the blue script immediately above the ship translates as ‘storm’.
