Prickly Pear Harvest

Scattered across the sun-scorched hills and rugged terrain of the Mediterranean, the prickly pear thrives where most life withdraws. Its thick, spiny skin defies the brutal heat and arid soil, a living contradiction—harsh to the touch yet protecting sweet, vibrant fruit within. Known as "sabr” (patience) in Arabic, it is a symbol of steadfastness and resilience, with its tough exterior and tender heart, mirrors the land itself—unyielding, enduring, and full of life where you least expect it. It is a quiet emblem of survival, a reminder that beauty and sustenance emerge from even the harshest of conditions.
