In the village of Bilin in Palestine, a woman uses spent tear-gas grenades collected from her vicinity to plant a garden full of flowers.
These spent tear-gas grenades were collected from frequent clashes between Israeli soldiers and local Palestinians.
This garden sits on land that was reclaimed by Palestinians two years ago in a court battle. This move caused Israel’s construction of their highly controversial security wallto be re-routed.
For an object that signifies so much hatred and animosity, its new use is a poignant reminder of the strength of the human spirit, and that people live amongst the violence and conflict that persists every day.
