Description
This program illustrates the Tunisian proverb “Dajaja t'kaki bin sawaki... w el tiffah w el nawar men el sbah” (A hen cackles between the channels... apples and flowers in the morning). Hatem El Mekki's illustration uses a bold graphic style, mixing bands of bright colors evoking irrigated gardens and the fertility of the earth. The hen, depicted with geometric patterns, symbolizes rural life and self-sufficiency. The message focuses on the vitality of the Tunisian countryside and the importance of agriculture, a pillar of the economy and identity, where each morning brings the promise of a new harvest and generous nature.
