الغُربة وحشة
Homesickness is a beast – aka a barren wasteland of loneliness
Take what you can, leave now and hope to return someday.
If you are a member of the diaspora (any diaspora), you recognize that moment of rupture – when you realize you can't pack "home" in a suitcase. Sometimes that moment is part of your life and, sometimes, it is part of your inheritance. You carry your family's legacy in your name, you wrestle with your native tongue in your accent and, every day, you mourn a loss so deep it threatens to drown your soul in your tears.
Our suitcase pin borrows symbols from countries across the MENA region, with a shared history of displacement – we may differ in our circumstances but we are united in our struggle.
