Drones drown out the moments of our daily lives. Some of these are family moments, and others are intimate. Before each summer, we wait for the next round of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. The attacks are relentless, and their psychological effect is difficult to measure. In addition to causing physical destruction, the attacks on the Gaza Strip also influence culture and society on both sides of the conflict. Lack of familiarity with the people on the other side of the wall creates distance and coldness, making it easier for politicians to incite crowds and recruit combatants on both sides. The attacks pierce through to people’s language and daily behavior, which then creates a habitual cycle that carries over to the next summer of violence. In my images, daily life and family moments are covered with drone attacks, which serve as a metaphor for how violence penetrates our daily lives.
