The Palm Tree

Artist Abeer Alkhalifah is captivated by Saudi heritage and its symbols, especially the palm tree. She founded The Palm House as a store producing and selling artwork that is inspired by the strength of palm trees and Saudi culture and heritage.

Abeer’s designs and products vary, but they all contain the different parts of a palm tree. She thinks this medium allows her to showcase the strength and resilience of this plant, as well as its reflection of the nature of Saudi. In an interview with the National Center for Palms and Dates, Abeer delves into her practice and store:
