Everything That Rises Must Converge
In the winter of 2011-2012, my growing interest in historical threads and parallels lead me to spend two months making pictures in the occupied West Bank and Israel. I was drawn to banal aspects of daily life in Palestine, where innocuous gesture and circumstance carry immense gravitas. Everything That Rises Must Converge is an intentionally mundane iconography of the everyday in Palestine, conveying the absurd, contradictory and violent nature of life in the occupied West Bank.
