Stolen Fruits Tote Bag

The Orange Testifies Tote 

This piece emerges from a need to confront how symbols of Palestinian life such as land, labor, and fruit have been severed from their origins and rebranded under occupation. The orange, once a proud emblem of Palestinian agriculture and identity, now often appears stripped of context, sold without acknowledgment of the land or people it came from.
The artist is drawn to the orange because it holds memory. It carries the scent of groves that families cultivated for generations and the bitterness of what was taken. Through this work, the artist reflects on how even the most everyday object can hold political weight, how something as simple as a fruit can testify to histories of displacement and erasure.
The piece addresses Israel’s occupation not through imagery of violence but through absence, through what has been taken, renamed, or made invisible. It asks: What does it mean to consume something stolen? And what does it mean to belong to a land that has been claimed by others? The work is a quiet refusal to let those histories be overwritten.
