This is an open edition canvas print of a painting titled Lake Shore Dreams. I had the title Lake Shore Dreams for this piece in mind before I had any idea what I was going to sketch out as a concept. I knew I wanted to play on Chicago’s infamous Lake Shore Drive with the title, and I knew I wanted it to feel dreamy and surreal. I later thought what’s more surreal than big blue whales soaring through the clouds? The answer I found was whales soaring through the clouds and surrounded by sky scrapers. But with all of the dreaminess I also wanted to speak on some reality as well. I wanted to shine light on my Palestinian heritage and my support for Gaza. The placement of the flag was important. The posture of the kid in the painting was also important. Is he asleep or is his head down in anguish? You tell me.
