Pain and tragedy are universal. In the midst of the rubble of Palestine, photojournalist Eman Mohammed set out to show the pain of Palestine through portraits of loss and survival from all over the world. Crossing borders, decades, and tragedies, Eman shows that no matter where you are, the war is always just a walking distance away. 

Eman Mohammed was born in Saudi Arabia and educated in Gaza City Palestine, where she started her photojournalism career at the age of 19. Her work focuses on documenting the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, including invasions and wars that frequently occur in the area and the formation of armed militant groups in the strip. The main body of her work has moved from covering the Israel’s bombing blitz of Gaza in 2008-2009 and death perpetrated through Israeli shelling of the territory in a news-oriented style, to a long series on women’s issues and the aftermath of long-term destruction.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
