Along the Separation Wall (2022—ongoing) is a contemporary portrait of the entangled Israeli and Palestinian reality, reconciling the disputed land under one light of tolerance and hope, a fraction of a second at a time. The series documents and explores the life and the dreams of the people living on both sides of the wall, in those places where Israel and Palestine unite into one obscure line. Throughout the project, unfamiliar faces are revealed. What unites them is the land. The sacred Land. These encounters raise inevitable questions about belonging, loss, death, longing, and hope. The photographs Induce silence - perhaps imaginary, perhaps real.
While humanity has been pushed aside, this body of work comes to highlight human resilience and similarity between peoples. The vision is to continue documenting (both Israeli-Palestinian territories) and deepening into the subject by creating intimate and personal moments that reflect people's dreams and fantasies together with portraits related to the land and to the separation wall as a concept.
