This artwork captures a vibrant apothecary in Jerusalem between 1900 and 1920, where spices, soaps, sweets, and stories were traded in equal measure. The apothecary stands proudly among his colorful wares—jars of saffron, dried herbs, and bricks of soap—each shelf a tapestry of Palestinian livelihood. The arches above are adorned with flowing Arabic script, echoing memories whispered through generations. To the sides, two men, one seated with a hookah and the other a friend—add warmth and familiarity to the scene. This piece evokes more than trade; it speaks of rootedness, kinship, and the enduring essence of home.
