What even is a Bint Bandora? 🍅

Bint Bandora means “daughter of tomato” in Arabic. I am a queer, Palestinian artist whose work emerges from my deep love and longing for my ancestral Homeland.

Born into diaspora, but always connected to my roots, I use my mixed media artistic practice to explore the space between displacement and belonging. My work dives into identity, queerness, and grief. I turn personal experience into visual stories that speak to the collective struggle. Each piece is both a love letter to Palestine and a reminder that liberation is coming.
