While Looking Heaven in the Eye is a digital cenotaph to honor the thousands of innocent Palestinians who have been murdered by Israel. It is to honor those who have lost their lives, their homes, and their families not just in the past 7 months, but since 1946. I want to honor the Palestinian struggle for their lives and land since the settler colonial state of Israel was established 76 years ago. the genocide and apartheid enacted upon Palestinians in their native land is a disgusting and horrifying movement, one that has only been aided and furthered by the US. This project aims to memorialize the millions of Palestinians who have been subjected to 76 years of violence and oppression. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
