This beautiful lighthouse was an art installation in Gaza by Shareef Sarhan (2020). https://www.amostrust.org/shareef-sarhan/ It has of course been destroyed in the genocide. It was built from debris from previous Israeli attacks.

Would our community, or yours, like to build a replica of this lovely monument, to show our belief in peace with justice, equal human rights, international law, kindness and compassion?

Could it be built from waste? or is natural/biodegradable better/ do we want something that others can copy easily. How about willow or hazel, stems tied with metal cable ties, built into long poles? panels decorated by different groups in the community…? Could the work bring wide community involvement? 

What might such a lighthouse signify? The coming storm; shelter; refuge; welcome; harbour; light; truth: showing the way; safety; we did this together: all belong … ?
