Salam sista
A series of illustrations which was created in collab with several places in Essaouira, Morocco to raise funds for the victims of the earthquake in 2023. My aim with this serie was to honor the rich feminine culture of Morocco, the strong sisterhood which I experience during my visits in Morocco. These women are the engine of the society. They feed their families, they nourish the little ones, provide a home for their community and a warm welcome for visitors.
Meanwhile these illustrations have been used for several occasions. I have had several exhibitions in Morocco and my posters and postcards of this serie are sold in several shops in Holland and Morocco.
An illustration of two women with dark curly hair, one with long braids, smiling, with leafy plants and pink flowers surrounding them. One woman holds a cup with a geometric pattern, and there are two similar cups on the table. The background is pastel-colored, creating a cheerful and vibrant scene.
A woman with orange hair, wearing earrings and a grayish-green apron, is preparing food in a kitchen decorated with pink and purple flowers, large green leaves, and a purple tiled wall. She is smiling and focusing on her task.
A woman in a pink traditional dress and lavender headscarf sitting at a table with a tea pot, two glasses of tea, and a small blue dish of cookies, surrounded by green plants indoors.
A person with a purple bandana on their head, closed eyes, and a slight smile, is preparing food or cooking at a table. The scene includes various plants surrounding the person, a bowl of colorful ingredients or salad, a small pot, and hanging utensils in the background.
