a response to the relocation of olive trees from Gaza
part history, part love letter, part quiet protest

a re-thinking of the bibliographical approach 'ad fontes' (a Latin expression which means "[back] to the sources"), the publication traces all references of the olive tree and it’s cultural and socio-economic and symbolic significance from Linear B to the Quran with a particular focus on the bibliographical sources in the Classical World. 

The publication was made as part of the Reading Landscape Exhibition held in the Annex Gallery of The Glasgow School of Art between 22 April – 16 May 2025.

All proceeds from the sale of this work will be donated for humanitarian relief in Palestine, a place where olive trees grow despite all adverse conditions and continue to thrive against all odds.
