This is a picture I took of a family i had breakfast with in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The father and daughter pictured here were so photogenic together. They had such a resonating bond. In this photo the mood of their seperate thoughts seem to mirror each other. There is something unimaginably sad about knowing your children will inherit the same conflict that you have.
A wonderful evocative and emotive image. Your description is eloquent and sensitive. From an artistic point of view, I feel an immediate connection to the image, and as a father I can relate to the emotional side it reflects. The BG creates a connection to the land and where they live. Like you, Susanna, my hopes and aspirations are for resolutions of the conflict, and I believe it can be achieved. Thank you for contributing such a powerful image to the Art of the Middle East group.
