It was silent
The reds and blues that flowed from my brush onto my canvas transversed, budling the vibrant patterns of home. The significance of the symbolic curves, lines and hues of the patterns completely negated by their ignorance.
I attempted “it’s my…… Bayt (home)”
The mocking laughter echoed in my ears I sounded different to everyone else in class. My mother language rolled off my tongue sweetly when I was with my family but sounded sour with strangers’.
What was everything for me was nothing for them.
Coming to Australia meant everything to me. it was my road to a difference and a clean slate. However, since coming here, all I have felt is how my family and I were being divided from the rest of society, suppressed by the biased media spreading only the flaws of Lebanon.
Their Lebanon was a smear of grey whilst mine had thousands of colours.
Their judgement makes Walking into a room the toughest part for me.
The false façade placed in their minds, If I am angry, I am the scary guy. If I am quiet, I am hiding something. If I succeed, I am the exception.
I carry a thousand years of history, yet I am only one headline.
To them I am the violence they assigned me to.
Whenever this resentment came over me an image of my mother would slip into my mind.
My mama (mother) on her art stool, a brush in her hand hovering just above the clean slate in front of her. As I recounted these memories, it still felt fresh in my mind like she had newly poured paint besides her. mama was turned down and disregarded due to her life being seen as a “unfortunate case.” she was trapped by the misconceptions and ignorance of the outside world. She always urged me speak with my brush “it is the tool that holds your identity and expression”. Her resilience was my inspiration where the world pressed and pushed, she held on, where it pointed fingers and labelled her, she lived louder than any label.
She took the brush in her own hands, and I followed her every stroke. She refused to be redrawn. she resiliently remained painting her story even when the world has already decided who she was.
Warmth came over me like a tight hug. I was given the privilege to be the change
Yes, perhaps this is why I loved painting.

I picked up my brush. (it was my: key, path adapt here)
Every stroke of my brush resembled my autonomy. Even if my final piece could not erase the image others saw me as, my journey and truth was still written through every swift stroke. branches vined across the border, intricate patterns from my mosque while the birds gathered under the trees peacefully, each picking up fragments of my identity and what I had left behind.
Like my mother always reminded me

Each stain of a bristle resembled my family’s journeys
