Fruitful Negotiations. An unapologetic piece of wearable art that transforms satire into activism. This design uses fruit as its canvas to critique the absurdity and injustice of modern geopolitics. At first glance, it’s playful—but look closer and you’ll find layers of meaning.
The artwork features a smug banana, flanked by two cherries forming an unmistakable phallic symbol, representing Mr. President. To his side is a slice (not whole) of watermelon, embodying Palestine—a nation destroyed by genocide yet resilient in spirit. The banana delivers a chilling ultimatum: “We’ll turn your soil into a beautiful garden… and send you to grow somewhere else. ” A thinly veiled metaphor for colonial greed, this quote echoes plans to seize Gaza’s land for luxury seaside resorts while displacing its people.
Through sharp caricature and biting humor, Fruitful Negotiations exposes the hypocrisy of power brokers who peddle empty promises while erasing history, culture, and lives. It challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths about privilege, dispossession, and resistance.
