Security Purposes 

Acrylic, black pen, canvas, 4" x 5"  

Security Purposes explores the strategies and tactics by which Israel expands its occupation in the West Bank & Gaza. The handwritten verbs in the background state the acts of injustice that take place on a daily basis in the Occupied Territories. The Hebrew phrase – “Security Purposes” - is placed on top of the handwritten verbs to explain the Israeli perspective; while the Arabic word - “Occupation” - is juxtaposed on top of the Hebrew to reveal what the Palestinians experience in reality.
