During the summer of 2011, armed with a camera and a map, Canadian photographer, Huda set out to chronicle the apartheid wall between Israel and Palestine.
He wanted to show the world what it was like to live in an open-air prison and how Palestinians have developed ways to cope with the wall’s existence.
But instead of the overwhelming reality of misery and suffering he witnessed with his own eyes, his camera captured images of contrasting nature: photos of people and faces of compassion, perseverance, and hope rarely seen in mainstream media’s portrayal of Palestinians.
