Fables of the sea
Fables of the Sea is a long-term photographic and research-based project that navigates Gaza’s fractured relationship with its only remaining open space—the sea. Once known for its fertile lands and flower exports, northern Gaza was devastated during the 2008 war. Entire ecosystems were destroyed, leaving the earth barren and its renewal impossible. With the land lost, the sea became Gaza’s last horizon—a space of fragile freedom, where daily life unfolds under threat.

Shatt and Shatta
These photos are part of a big series, that is documenting, the social and cultural anthropology of the city.
Shatta is one of the main ingredients of most Palestinian dishes in Gaza. The burning taste of this spice symbolizes what life means inside Gaza.

The Thread Connecting the City
It’s a photographic project that documents a series of snapshots taken between the years 2016 and 2017. These scenes explore the public spaces, transforming them from the ordinary to the extraordinary through the lens of the camera, revealing some of the marginal details of fishermen’s daily habits and the lives of camp residents. Others describe the transformation of the port identity into a recreational area that brings people together on all occasions

One day before, or On October 6th, 2023, or last everything …
A collection of 15 powerful images capturing Sea Street in Gaza City, frozen in time from that significant date—a date etched into memory, a date of upheaval and uncertainty, a date that echoes through the silence of history. From the moment the shutter clicked, time stood still, yet the world around continued to evolve, leaving us suspended in a moment of profound significance.

Gaza`s Collage
“Gaza’s Collageis a photography series born from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, echoing echoes of restrictions and confinement reminiscent of experiences from fifteen years past. With a keen eye on closed and open doors, I embarked on a vibrant exploration of color, using it as a tool to convey the sense of entrapment and limitation imposed by the pandemic. Amidst this backdrop, scenes against the sea emerge as poignant contrasts, where the vastness of the ocean symbolizes freedom and boundless potential.

No Shoes to Choose
This photographic project consists of fifteen collage sketches, completed in 2023.
It began with an open question: what is the shape of the place young people long for, and what do words such as safety, stability, and identity truly mean?
The idea slowly took over my imagination. Each time I walked through the city and found the places of my friends emptied—still carrying traces of them—I felt this strange transformation. The spaces seemed filled with an immense emptiness, as though belonging itself had vanished

The scene cut
This project is a visual reflection on the interrupted, unfinished nature of daily life in Gaza. Composed of manually “cut” photographs, edited to mirror the
fragmentation of experience, it captures the constant stops and starts, the daily gestures left suspended, and the quiet violence of living inside invisible
limitations.
Photography project with Qattan Foundation in Ramallah, 2020-2021 (In memory of tomorrow)
In Memory of Tomorrow
Photo essay chronicles my walks at Omar Al Mokhtar street – 8 kilometer street that connects East and West Gaza city over the duration of 6 months of intermittent lockdowns imposed on Gaza city due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The lockdown reduced the crowded movement of bodies and cars of the street enabling me to observe in more detail the use of the street walls as spaces for public messages.

Bigger Than Memory
This is a photographic project made at home, reflecting on how everything transforms into something far larger than memory itself—so vast that we cannot digest it, nor even imagine its scale, despite the narrowness and confinement of the space we inhabit.

Hakoora
“The Hakoora,” linguistically, is a place for agriculture behind the house, an ancient design adopted by our ancestors when all their food came from their own cultivation.
Figuratively, it’s a slice of paradise. The Hakoora I have known and recognized, since childhood, is that vast open space that accommodates everything, no matter how big or small. When we gather there, its space becomes a whole universe. And when I’m there, it becomes my kingdom, my personal realm, where I discover myself, my desires, and where all the ideas that inspire me for life, renewal, and survival come to me.
2016 - 2022
Road works
It is a series of photos that shows the everyday lives of the people on the roads of the Gaza Strip. These roads bear the differences and similarities among people. All differences in age, educational levels, social classes, etc. melt away in the streets who embrace all people.People, in Gaza, usually turn the biggest and the most spacious spaces into small and narrow ones.

Everything lies except lies
This project boldly presents 51 portraits of Palestinian women across diverse landscapes in the Gaza Strip, capturing them in the midst of their daily routines while sharing their personal stories. It stands as a powerful testament to the resilience and authenticity of these women, whose narratives have long been distorted by media narratives.In an era where media often distorts and manipulates the image of Palestinian women, this project serves as a defiant act against such misrepresentation.
