“If the olive trees knew what was happening to the hands that planted them, their oil would become tears.” ―Mahmoud Darwish و يذكر الزيتون غارسهُ .. لصار الزيت دمعا” محمود درويش -
Olive oil runs through our veins. It is a symbol of our resistance, our heritage, our lifestyle. Olive groves have been passed down from generation to generation. They carry the secrets of families, the laughter of their children, and the tender love each Palestinian poured into it.
When Israel savagely burns down olive trees in an attempt to erase the symbols of Palestinian peace, love for the land, and centuries of heritage and existence. It is not simply a loss of food or livelihood. It is a loss of something so magnificent, ancient, and strong, burned away so violently, so quickly, so hatefully by terrorizers.
I will not be erased. The olive groves will not be either. When you wear this shirt, you embody the message the olive trees are begging us to tell the world: save us. I hand drew the design as a response to the pain I felt shortly after hearing about the olive groves. The design is carefully pressed on sustainable, ethically sourced sweatshirts.
Comes in white and black. Can also be applied to (most) fabrics - if you have a clothing item you loved that you want us to apply this design to, message us!
Sizing: unisex sizing, size up for an oversized look or your typical size/size down for a tighter fit.
