Gaza – City as Character Series

It’s hard to imagine anybody living a normal life in the Gaza Strip.

Frequently labeled as the world’s largest open-air prison, this is a beautiful portrait of everyday Gazan citizens, leading meaningful lives beyond the rubble of perennial conflict.

Missing Green is the artist Anne Maree Barry's poetic journey through Cork Street, Dublin, Ireland.
