"And Yet, We Grow" examines human resilience in the face of systemic oppression, focusing specifically on the peoples of Lebanon and Palestine facing neocolonial powers. Using the metaphor of root networks, this piece explores how these communities, like ancient vegetation, regenerate and persist despite persistent attempts at their erasure. The imagery connects their unshakeable determination to the natural world's capacity for renewal, demonstrating how deeply rooted peoples continue to flourish against all odds.
