My PIKIN

( 100cm x 80cm, 2025 ) centers on a mother and child pushed out of place by war, and it also speaks to migration, work, and what people give up just to keep going. Here, the mother is a domestic worker who left home for Lebanon to find a job, arriving with the everyday weight of keeping others safe while trying to stay afloat herself. With the 2024/2025 Israel, Lebanon conflict sitting in the background, the painting reads as a quiet, tender look at motherhood when life won’t ease up.
 
A red mask on the mother points to strain, grit, and the need to shield, while the child’s blue mask leans toward innocence, fragility, and a small but steady kind of hope. In this close, personal scene, Sinatra Zantout pays respect to women whose work, love, and pain are too often missed.
