$100
Starting bid
Artist: Meriam Waqas
Year: 2026
Medium: Stoneware pottery, surface decorated with specially formulated stained slip
Retail Value: $250
This vase is inspired by a beautiful multi-coloured kuffiyeh from Sitti Soap I was gifted by my husband during a time in my life where I could either speak truth to power, or sit ideally by while my former boss normalized taking Israeli business at our company. I chose to speak up. What unfolded was a disappointing response by my leadership and colleagues, but reassurance in myself and resilience in a set of values most only pretend to care about.
I also drew inspiration from International Woman's Day and the lovely Mama's4Palestine. I designed this vase to be especially feminine in its shape - to draw upon the power of a woman carrying new life.
