I entered the West Bank to witness and photograph the decades old conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis. In visiting this region, it was my hope to gain an understanding for this complex issue, and tell a small piece of a large story. I discovered one thing that both unites, and divides, the people who live there today, and whose ancestors have lived there for millennia: struggle. Whether Palestinian or Israeli, whether Muslim, Jew or Christian, whether soldier or civilian, their stories are all, in some degree, about struggle. Struggling for a better life. Struggling for peace. Struggling for justice.
