From The River To The Sea

January 9, 2024

As calls for a cease fire in Palestine echo around the world Gaza’s Health Ministry warns of a looming catastrophe for displaced Palestinians and a “triangle of death”: hunger, dehydration and disease.

The unprecedented suffering of the Palestinian people is difficult to comprehend in a world where the majority are against the actions of the Israeli apartheid state and their genociadal war against civilians. At one point in the UK some politicians were quoting the chant ‘From the river to the sea Palestine will be free’ as a phrase that was in some way illegal and an incitement to violence. I think of this poster as an incitement to Justice and Peace for the Palestinians.

Market Trader

January 7, 2024

The subject of this piece is a market trader I photographed early in the morning on Vallance Road in East London around 12 years ago. The collage beneath his feet represents the urban environment in Whitechapel with a solitary tree as the sole representative of the natural world as he heads towards whitechapel market with his heavy load to extract a living during a long day.
