“A couple of week into the conflict, I heard an interview with a Palestinian mom crying and speaking about her daughter: ‘She was a brand new bride,’ she mentioned. ‘We haven’t even returned her wedding ceremony gown.’ Her phrases drove me to color a younger girl in a bluish-gray robe — she’s from the world of the departed — wedged between a gaggle of girls. We live by historical past. As artists, now we have to make photographs for the world to point out that now we have emotions. We’ve got concepts. We’ve got youngsters. We exist.”
