The revolt was triggered by the collapse of Camp David Peace Talks between the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat and the controversial walk by Ariel Sharon on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. These images document the period from soon after the uprising until 2002. The progression of the project went from covering the violence to doing more street portraits, street photography and documenting daily life among the Palestinians.
