Raves and Reviews
"A powerful and poignant expression of the Palestinian narrative of exile weaving together the aesthetic and the personal story of longing for home. Rajie Cook's personal account is an intimate revelation of the special bond between father and son in the context of the Palestinian national identity and experience. This revelation emanates from an emotional identification with an attachment to the father as a visual and artistic celebration of creative expression. The narrative is therefore multifaceted; yet it unravels in the context of an exile in the West that is essentially discriminatory and dismissive of the humanity of the Palestinian people individually and collectively."
– Dr. Hanan Ashrawi
"Rajie has been able to combine his talent in design, his sensitivity, and his penchant for civic engagement in a series of powerful images that confront us with painful, contemporary realities. Through doing so, he once again demonstrates that the artist cannot separate himself from history and the human condition. If this is the message of art, then Rajie is its sublime interpreter."
– Massimo Vignelli, designer
