The 1948 Calendar Brooch
$93.00
Inspired by an archival calendar marking 1948, this brooch transforms an everyday object into a quiet reflection on history, memory, and cultural identity. The marked year carries a significance that extends beyond the calendar itself, evoking a pivotal moment in the history of Palestine and the wider Arab world.
Reimagined as a wearable object, the calendar becomes a small keepsake of a year that remains deeply embedded in collective memory. Its utilitarian form is elevated into a piece of jewellery - part artefact, part statement, and part reminder that history can live within the smallest of objects.
Designed to be worn as a subtle yet meaningful detail, the brooch brings together time, place, and memory, reflecting Zaid Farouki’s approach to transforming cultural references into contemporary forms.
