Palestine Arts

Photo shows art pieces made by Palestinian young man Ahmed al-Madhoun with seashells at his house in Gaza City, on April 24, 2019. A Palestinian young man from Gaza turns seashells into beautiful artifacts that adorn his home to satisfy his passion for this type of art. Using seashells he collects from Gaza beaches, 31-year-old Ahmed al-Madhoun makes various art pieces such as animals, birds and some funny characters. Al-Madhoun, who holds a college degree in radio and television engineering and works for a local telecommunication company, has been collecting multiple forms of seashells from the Gaza seashore for more than four years. The young man began the hobby of seashell art about a year and a half ago, and he already made large numbers of art pieces.
