How do we imagine our Return? How do Palestinians, displaced but inseparable from their homeland, dream of going back? Return is not simply reclaiming what was stolen. It is not just the physical act of refugees coming home or exiles finding their way back. Return is deeper: it is the restoration of our being, the revival of our spirit, our land, our sea, our skies, our trees. It is the essence of what makes Palestine alive. Yet imagining the Return has become one of the hardest questions of my life, especially after over a year of witnessing the unimaginable: the deliberate extermination of my people, broadcast for the world to see. It has been over a year of relentless grief, of loss too deep to comprehend. Imagining our Return now, in the face of such destruction, is an act of profound defiance. To imagine the Return, I found myself revisiting past conversations with friends and family. I reopened these dialogues—and initiated new ones—to reflect on the violent transformations imposed upon us throughout the years.
