A work made of gelatin silver print.

Hallowed Ground: variously shaped stones mark tombs in the Jewish burial ground of the Kidron Valley, to the southwest Jerusalem. The Jewish tradition has it that the Last Judgment will take place here. In the background, the silvery dome of Al-Aqsa Mosque is visible over the wall surrounding the Haram Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, a holy site of Islam, in East Jerusalem
