I am a lens-based artist and recent First Class Honours graduate from the Moving Image BA Program at the National College of Art & Design (NCAD). My final project involved interviewing Palestinian and Israeli activists on location, who work towards ending the occupation and achieving peace and equal rights for everyone between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. This work combines modern storytelling processes with traditional media such as analog photography, darkroom activity, and letterpress printing. Interviewees included Noor A’Wad, Tom Mehager, Naser Odat, Mohamad Jamous, Ofer Shorr, Rana Salman, Danielle Cantor, Rav Hanan Schlesinger, and Or. This project serves as both a historical archival document at a poignant and devastating moment and as an artistic visual expression highlighting the glimmers of hope that persist against the odds. Currently, the main focus of my practice is interrogating the intersections of truth, solidarity, perspective, and Western ignorance.
