Alluvium (2015)
"A visual essay drawn from my experience of being embedded for some time in a place, one that is both beautiful and ancient but also is an abysmal war zone -- the occupied territory of Palestine. The piece quotes Jalal Toufic, Jean Genet and H.P. Lovecraft, drawing poetic lines between the familiar tropes of the revenant, the undead and the disembodied, with the lives of the Palestinians. Refugees, between worlds, yearning for their original soil, in limbo, lost in the labyrinth..." - Peggy Ahwesh
