"All eyes on Gaza" + little art project

[whisperpeir]

While excavating my small but wonderful spare room from evidence of depressive episodes, I found a few neglected photo frames. Inspired by protest art, I decided to fill one with a tiny collage in support of Palestine.

The left is the original image by Fred Sochard from The Palestine Poster Project Archives. The collage is in the photo to the right, along with other art, including two pieces by Ukrainian artist AnnaSArtWorkshop.

Below is a template to make your own version. The image inspires hope in me and is a reminder to continue learning, speaking, boycotting. Maybe it's the same for you. Here's how I made it:

I took this Heart Gaza poster and resized it to fit the 4" x 6" frame. Then I gently traced the pieces from my monitor onto vellum with a pencil to create a template. Flipping through some old magazines, I selected a photo of green farm land, a group of celebrating people wearing red, and mountains in shadow.

After clipping these, I layered the templates over the colorful paper and cut out the heart and hands with a craft knife. Finally, I used a glue stick to attach the shapes to a bit of card stock. Well, first I used the glue to repair a paper finger I sliced short after getting too enthusiastic with the xacto. Then I put everything together in a frame and up on the wall.

Not sure what to put in the other little frames. Any ideas, friend?
