Khan Yunis, Palestine
Khan Yunis, in the Palestinian Territory, bears the stark scars of conflict, its urban landscape transformed into a testament of widespread destruction. Multi-story residential buildings, once homes, now stand as hollowed-out shells, their facades riddled with countless bullet and shrapnel impacts. Entire sections of exterior walls are obliterated, exposing the shattered interiors of apartments across multiple floors, where remnants of daily life cling precariously to damaged balconies.
An overhead image depicts a scene in Khan Yunis, Palestinian Territory. A single individual stands on a paved surface composed of interlocking grey square tiles and smaller reddish-brown square inserts. The individual, dressed in a grey long-sleeved top with a neon green collar lining and dark sandals, holds a dark-colored pot containing granular material. To their right, a translucent plastic jerry can with a white screw cap, appearing to contain liquid, rests on the paved ground. Both the individual and the jerry can cast distinct shadows. A horizontal silver-colored metal rail runs across the image foreground, partially obscuring the lower half of the subject and the container. Below the paved area and a concrete retaining edge, an unpaved, sandy-brown ground scattered with small stones and debris is visible.
