Tel Aviv is divided into nine districts that are formed naturally over the city’s short history. The most notable of these is Jaffa, the ancient port city out of which Tel Aviv grew. This area is traditionally made up demographically of a greater percentage of Arabs, but recent gentrification is replacing them with a young professional population and Israelis.
This is the most celebrated place in Israel, where Israelis and Arabs live in peace together despite the continued historical conflict.
My purpose was to examine the lifestyle of this particular place. Through simple narrative, I have presented how ordinary these people are in their extra ordinary circumstances.
These photographs therefore promise no solutions but serve only to remind us of the enduring human spirit people have even through the most challenging adversity.
