A photographer takes a project to Gazas children, and ends up giving them therapy through a lens. When she asks them to make family the subject of a photo project, many came back with nothing. Mutassim, who saw an Israeli sniper shoot his father, mother and brother, came back with a photograph of a big family portrait that he detached from his bedroom wall. He told me he decided to take the portraits off the wall, because… he couldn’t have a shot about them as they were dead. He’d realized that they would never come back to hug him. It’s at that moment that I truly believed that my work as a photographer was starting to be like a catalyst and somehow helping them just talk about their emotions.
