Abdel-Hay Musallam

Abdel-Hay Musallam makes bas-relief sculptures of wood paste on board. His subject matter is divided into three related parts: one is devoted to the love of women, the second to Palestinian heritage and the third to the Palestinian struggle for freedom. Memories of village life in Palestine are presented in scenes he has constructed, such as women embroidering, weddings, and gentle modest flirting between young village couples. Musallam has created a bas-relief for each of the events of the struggle. He celebrates the unity of generations and the continuous will for freedom and dignity.
