Where Olive Trees Weep

 

“Sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt.” Translation: “There are tears of/for things and mortal things touch the mind.” Virgil, The Aeneid.

 

 

 

For this project, I researched images, websites, news, and videos documenting the devastating effects of the Gaza/Israel conflict. Many images are screenshots from the film Where Olive Trees Weep. Additionally, I included poems by Palestinian poets, drawing on Mosab Abu Toha’s collection “Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear” (2022).
