Sea Package.
Ayed Arafah
|
|
Because we are from the West Bank, we miss the sea and cannot reach it because of the
Occupation…
I have the right to lie on the sand of the beach, to fish, to walk around the harbour and to
listen to the sea gulls
I have the right to hear the sound of the waves
The sea is not far; I saw it from Ein Misbah in Ramallah on a clear day…
I thought of reaching the sea in my own way
I thought of making a temporary sea
I asked my friends to bring sea water from wherever they are, and to send it to Palestine .
And I put the water they sent in a big bag, which I called “Sea Package” ….a sea that carries no waves, no port, no beach…. a sea that does not have the rest of the details as it is only a mere package that perhaps might carry me to the real sea... one day.
