These are the third and fourth designs in a limited series of four. Fifty silk screened prints of each design, in black plastisol on off-white cotton canvas 9.5 X 18 inches. Suitable for sewing onto clothing or hanging on the wall.

The first and second designs are sold out. The third design I decided to make 25 prints at a slightly smaller size, so they would fit easier onto a jacket with last 25 prints at the original size. I also have 50 prints of the final fourth design to complete the series.

I am donating all the profit from these sales to help some friends of a friend get out of a bad situation. For a limited time I am lowering the price to a minimum donation of $25 per print + shipping. No shipping if you buy from me in person. I will post updates about how Jabbar and his wife are doing. Read their story below.

Dear Friends,

We are reaching out to ask for your support for our friend Jabbar. He is an Afghan poet who has lived most of his life in Iran and has devoted much of his time to educating underprivileged children and social activities. In recent years, the worsening economic situation and the growing hostility toward Afghan immigrants in Iran forced many families into deportation or exile. Facing these challenges, he decided to leave the country too but he needs our financial help to secure enough funds to get his visa and travel to his destination for himself and his family. At the end of this note, we included a translated snippet of one his poems for you to read so you can get a better sense of how he sees the world and how much he believes in the essence of humanity. Here is a brief description of his situation: "I am Jabbar and I was born in Afghanistan. At the age of seven, during the first Taliban regime and after the death of my father, I sought refuge in Iran together with my family. I spent my childhood working as a street vendor in Tehran while continuing my education at a self-organized school for Afghan refugees. Through great effort, I was eventually able to enter official schools, where I earned a diploma in mathematics and physics. Since my teenage years, alongside my artistic activities and the publication of a poetry book, I have dedicated myself to voluntary education, teaching literacy to child laborers, illiterate women, and workers. My wife, M, was a victim of forced marriage at the age of 13 and has suffered both domestic and structural violence. After enduring years of abuse, she was coerced into separation from her two children and was only able to keep custody of her third daughter. Following our marriage, her former husband and his family repeatedly attempted to abduct her child, and after the Taliban regained power, the threats and pressures escalated to the point where they even pursued forced repatriation of her through the Afghan Embassy in Iran. At present, given the ongoing mass deportation of Afghan refugees from Iran, our safety is gravely at risk. Fortunately, after two years of persistent effort, we have obtained visas for Austria. However, in order to receive them, we must travel to Pakistan. The total cost for visas, tickets, and travel expenses for three people amounts to approximately $7,000. We have only three months to complete this process, of which nearly two months has already passed."

A piece of a longer poem by Jabbar:

"You whisper homeland-
and rage, out of nothing,
flowers into fire,
staining your pale forehead red.
That whiteness-
I wish it could crown your thoughts.
That redness-
I wish it bloomed each day,
a fresh bud on your silver hair.

You whisper homeland-
while our hands interlock,
while one song
threads our listening together.
Our laughter echoes the same joy,
our tears bleed from the same wound."
