Weapons for Rafah is a visual statement on the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. The painting highlights the suffering of civilians, especially women and children, who make up more than half of the victims.

By depicting a dove—a symbol of peace—as a cyborg with a rocket launcher, the artwork underscores the irony and horror of war. It reflects on the militarization of even the most innocent symbols and the devastating impact of violence.

Rafah, a refuge for many fleeing the conflict, symbolizes both hope and its fragility. The painting criticizes high civilian casualties and war crimes, such as attacks on aid organizations, urging reflection on the humanitarian crisis.

Importantly, this work does not take sides but calls for humanity and peace. It aims to raise awareness of war’s tragic effects and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution.
