And it becomes symbolic what terrorism’s about” (h. Salam)
Spent the day taking with various communities impacted by the apartheid wall.

It demonstrates indigenous peoples deep connection to their lands are not easily uprooted.
Beduin elders remind us this struggle is not isolated but rather part of the continued colonization.
