Through countless walks with my camera, wandering every street and alley of my hometown, Gaza, I’ve come to form a personal and intimate perspective of the city. The walk from my family’s house to the Mediterranean beach is a 30-minute journey, and every time I take it, I discover something new. A fresh detail is added to the artistic fabric of this place—each step revealing a deeper sense of self-healing, understanding, and appreciation for every element that shapes this city. Along the way, I’ve captured countless portraits of passersby, each one standing there with a wide smile, ready for me to freeze their existence in time. Their faces reflect a quiet resilience, a daily resistance that I seek to immortalize in a single frame.
