Grandparent’s Wedding Day, Rayya Khuri

oil on canvas

This work reflects the artist's deep connection to Lebanon, a homeland marked by pain and suffering, distant from the culture of love they grew up with. As a painter, the artist seeks to portray love, which is sorely lacking, beginning with a painting of their grandparents' marriage photo. This piece serves as a love letter to the artist's identity, reminding the West of the Arab world's humanity.
