About The Work
Emily Jacir's photograph woman to woman shows the day-to-day encounters between soldiers and civilians in the midst of the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East. This rare glimpse of an interaction between a female Israeli soldier and a Palestinian woman—both made anonymous by their different headgear—challenges conventional portrayals of womanhood and feminism, while the camera's depth and perspective permits a view of the land so coveted by both peoples.
