Wadi Salib
Still photographs of the remains of Palestinian homes, buildings and landscapes of Wadi Salib neighbourhood in Haifa. The photographs are evidence of change in the Palestinian identity of this area, for the reconstruction or “restoration” of the neighbourhood by people who are not locals constitutes the erasure of its Palestinian history, while what remains or what is preserved leaves no hint as to its identity, as Wadi Salib is a Palestinian neighbourhood. This work was made to document the unique landscape as well as its architectural richness before it disappears without a trace, hence its importance.
