Bashar Khalaf’s work explores the geographical isolation that Palestinians experience. He presents an alternative image to the lost archive of the coastal areas which disappeared in 1948. In his painting Live the Dream, the artist uses a large advertising banner for “Coca-Cola” with its logo. The ad’s visual immensity dominates the scenery that had once offered, from a spot in downtown Ramallah, an aerial view of the coast. The metaphor implies an alternative sea, and thus an alternative dream.
