Itamar Dotan Katz’s ‘No Milk and No Honey’
Archival Pigment Prints
As an Israeli living in NYC during and since October 7th my feelings about Israel and the war has been very confusing.
So in January 2024 I went on a two weeks journey throughout Israel-Palestine to meet as many different perspectives as I could find to try and help me make sense of it all.
It didn’t.
Probably even made it more complicated by immersing myself in it.
Instead I bear witness to the suffering of this land and all of its inhabitants: Israeli survivors of the 10.7 attack, the site of the Nova Music Festival, the Kibbutzim surrounding Gaza, and Palestinian shepherds in the West Bank that are being harassed by settlers.
No matter who they are and where they’re from, all are affected and all are hurting. And for each it seems harder than ever to relate to the other’s pain.
