After serious conversations and fake sympathy, I took the ugly piece of walmart art she left behind and transformed it into something good for me and my Palestinian people. The green stars dancing in the back are a reference to a shirt design by a Moroccan artist that fundraised for Palestine a few years ago, and they inspired me to do good things with my art as well.

Whether he knew it or not, he had started a generational legacy that continued through my grandmother, great aunts and uncles, and then my uncle Tewfic Habesch, keeping the business alive for 100 years. During the 1948 war, the printing press and machinery were stolen by occupation forces (Nasir Khoury, 135), which pushed him to simply reopen in East Jerusalem. Although I had never met him, his strength to turn this devastation into fuel for his fire tells me he knew the legacy he would leave behind. My piece “The Commercial Press” is a mixed media artwork made up of collaged tracing paper, fabric, acrylic paint, and wood. It emulates the business’ sign of the original printing press in West Jerusalem and pulls inspiration from other signs I spotted around Jerusalem during my trip in 2018. I believe Arabic text is innately beautiful with its continuous curves and often intriguing composition. This juxtaposition of delicate text and bright plastic colors on business signs of today inspired the colors in “The Commercial Press”. The background of the piece is comprised of components of the map of Jerusalem my great grandfather designed and distributed through the press. “Jerusalem Upon Your Palm” it reads before opening it up to the streets of the city. This document was spread widely amongst the people of Jerusalem and I felt that knowledge in every move I made while completing this artwork. My family is Jerusalem. Printed on mesh fabric and adhered onto the center of the piece is my family, Tewfic and Jamileh Habesch with their children Celeste, Colette, Beatrice, Laurice, Issa, and Yvette (my grandmother). After the passing of my great grandfather, Issa took over the press with his siblings. It was then passed down to his son Tewfic who ran the business until it shut down in 2020. In that time, amongst many other publications, The Commercial Press printed the first university diploma in Palestine for Birzeit University in 1976 (Nasir Khoury, 133). My family is woven in the fabric of me, of Palestinian education, and of Jerusalem.

In 2024, I painted “GOOD GOD” which was inspired by a cross emblem on a truck grill I saw parked at Oglethorpe Mall in Savannah. A silver cross made up of intersecting words “GOOD” and “GOD”. It felt very traditionally Southern but in a way I thought also looked really cool. I loved the design of the emblem and the chrome. This year i have been thinking a lot about Christian Palestinians, as I come from a long line of them. We are a tight group. I wanted to have a conversation through this piece. Being an American, I see how politics and religion are linked very heavily; legislature and personal politics amongst conservatism (and more) are based on religion, much of it being Christianity. When i see those folks supporting the genocide against my people, it blows my mind that the land from which their savior comes from is what they want destroyed. The people from which their savior comes from are being eradicated. The book that they follow takes place where they’re watching everything burn. It makes no sense. There are Christians and churches in Gaza and all over Palestine. It’s interesting to see people be blind to that. We are over there too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce48235b2d3200001748398/1763596028315-LJAWJQQ95ED2XDMMRT3E/GoodGodII.jpg GOOD GOD II, 2025 - GOOD GOD II $200 Acrylic paint on canvas and repurposed acrylic sheet. 13.5” x 17.5” (This work is 3D).

Represented in their work is the beauty of being Palestinian, feeling every generation flow through them as they create. MacMaster’s intent is to preserve Palestinian joy as it undergoes constant threat of eradication. Their journey in painting began painting images of jewelry and creating metallic shine on the canvas. This technique continues to be present in their work today. In 2021, they received their BFA in Fashion Design with a minor in Fashion Marketing & Merchandising from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
