A Palestinian Summer 

This is a series of photographs taken during the summer of 2014 in the West Bank, Palestine. It features images produced as part of an outreach research project for Stop the Wall Campaign (stopthewall.org) and International Solidarity Movement (palsolidarity.org), as well as my own personal documentary photography from my time spent studying at Birzeit University.

The series attempts to visualise the everyday life of Palestinians across the West Bank. It includes photography from cities, town and villages such as Ramallah, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Birzeit, Nabi Saleh, and Bilin.

The juxtaposition of urban and rural landscapes, private and tourist locations, and political struggles – between Palestine and Israel, as well within the Palestinian society – aims to underline the geographical, cultural, and political diversity of the region.

All photographs have been taken in the context of the summer of 2014 - a time of one of the deadliest wars between Israel and Hamas in Gaza in recent years.
