echoes of loss

as olives symbolize hope, tradition, and heritage, our lives, our children's lives have been brutally interrupted. this projection project displays not just children, but only a drop in a sea of infants' and babies' names that have been killed. the soundtrack is intended to immerse you in the struggle of the palestinian people, who simply seek to exist.

veil of
resilience.

veil of resilience delves into the lives of palestinians who, despite immense suffering and loss, carry resilience like a wedding veil, turning grief into strength and dignity. just as a wedding veil symbolizes sacred union and commitment, veil of resilience represents honour and the enduring bond with their land, even in overwhelming affliction. this visual narrative shows how palestinians transform pain into power, even a celebration, and loss into love for their land. a collaborative project i directed, led by students and recent graduates from ocad university, united by our commitment to honoring palestinian identity through art and design.

dancing
flamingos.

designing an exhibition wall with the strict theme of dancing flamingos was both intriguing and enjoyable. leveraging my expertise in arabic, i chose to use arabic letters to form the shape or outline of the flamingos. through careful selection of colors and strategic overlapping of arabic script, i created a playful and dynamic set of walls for the exhibition.

about

salam, i'm thana zeyara.

a toronto-based graphic designer and ocad university graduate. rooted in toronto, shaped by palestine, driven by everything in between.

why work with me

i don't settle for one thing. i explore, experiment, and bring genuine curiosity to every project. my palestinian background has deeply shaped my perspective, it's where my passion comes from, and it pushes me to create work that carries meaning. every piece is crafted to engage through storytelling, building a visual language that evokes emotion while maintaining a powerful narrative impact. anyone can design. not everyone can evoke emotion.

when i'm not designing

you'll find me painting, travelling, or teaching kids how to make art. i'm always learning, whether it's a new medium, a new culture, or a new way of seeing the world. combined with photography, these experiences feed into everything i create, keeping my work restless, alive, and deeply human.

let's talk.
