oh, i'm one of those!! i'm waves, i do watercolour paintings, at the moment mostly landcapes and seascapes. still relatively new to the medium so no shop or anything yet but i do hope to turn it into something eventually! i also post photography sometimes

watercolor painting showing the sun setting after a storm over a wavy seascape with land in the distance. there are rocks in the foreground at the bottom and trees on the right side

watercolor painting showing a road going into a tree covered mountainside under a blue sky. there is another hill in the distance and the ground drops away sharply to the left

watercolor painting showing sand dunes at twilight, with winding ridges sharply divided into light and shadow. a few tufts of grass break up the landscape

watercolour painting of a very large jagged, creviced rock in shallow seawater, under scattered clouds in a blue sky, with a few waves rolling in

cops in trafalgar square carry a protester directly towards camera. she is wearing a hoodie that has the "palestine will be free" slogan on it but because of the way it folds and the colours just the "will" is prominent

A black and white photograph reveals a candid moment of two women sharing a joyful conversation on a sunlit street. The image, captured in a monochrome palette, emphasises texture, light, and shadow, giving it a classic, timeless feel.
The central focus of the photograph is a two-person wooden bench where the women are seated. The woman on the left has long, light-coloured hair that is catching the light, & her head is thrown back in laughter. Her mouth is wide open, and her eyes are crinkled with mirth. She is dressed in a light-coloured, long-sleeved shirt and casual pants, and her feet, adorned with sandals, are placed on the ground in a relaxed posture. Her entire body language conveys uninhibited happiness.
Beside her, the second woman, with her dark hair pulled back, is also smiling and looking at her friend. She is leaning in, with her legs crossed and her hands resting on her lap. She wears a lighter jacket over what appears to be a light-coloured top and jeans. The way she is angled towards her companion suggests a deep connection and shared amusement.
The composition places the two women in the lower center of the frame, occupying a significant portion of the image. The strong sunlight from the left casts long, diagonal shadows from the women and a nearby pole onto the pavement, creating a dramatic sense of depth and time. The ground itself is a mix of asphalt & paving stones, with a metal grate visible near the bench.
In the background, a street runs horizontally across the top third of the photo. A light-colored Volkswagen Golf is driving up the street away from the camera. A tall, dark post stands between the car & the bench, acting as a vertical element that separates the two planes of the image. To the right of the women, a building with a textured brick facade and a dark doorway provides a solid backdrop, contrasting with the more open space on the left. The overall impression is one of genuine human connection captured in a simple, everyday setting.

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.
