Formación geológica, sobre olivos de la rambla del Carrilero.
One of the speakers talked about how his #OliveTree back home in #Gaza was still standing. His voice broke as he described how unreal the past year had seemed -- that he felt like even the olive tree was perhaps not real. It was heartbreaking. Trauma from #Genocide and #War are real!

Film: "Where Olive Trees Weep"
Synopsis:
"Where Olive Trees Weep offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the #Palestinian people under #Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice.
"We follow, among others, #Palestinian journalist and therapist #AshiraDarwish, grassroots activist #AhedTamimi, and Israeli journalist #AmiraHass. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer trauma-healing work to a group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons.
"Ancient landscapes bear deep scars, having witnessed the brutal reality of ancestral land confiscation, expulsions, imprisonment, home demolitions, water deprivation, and denial of basic #HumanRights. Yet, through the veil of oppression, we catch a glimpse of resilience—deep roots that have carried the Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives.
"This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty?"

Olivenbaum, Olive tree
I know it's been all olives for me lately, but when you spend several weeks surrounded by olive groves, still cultivated or abandoned, sometimes already overgrown, you see more and more beauty in every single tree...

Some great stuff up there (including one little TFF nom).
Twelfth dedication for the artbook: Olivier Bastien asked me to have “Olivier” on it, so I decided to draw an olive tree (also named Olivier in French) just in the middle of the art. I end up with the idea of Esther as a Minoan goddess and Erie as a young priestess. Thanks for his trust!
