“That scene that I photographed while I was lying on the seashore, where the sea was without waves that day, and I photographed myself a scene while I was sleeping on the sand of the Gaza Sea. Where I felt absolute freedom at that time. Perhaps that scene was engraved and distinctive because I love sitting on the sand, love photography in Gaza, and I used to enjoy photographing that small spot and creating wonderful pictures from those places and trying to show my creativity in that small, closed place. That scene remained stuck in my mind and heart.” Salama Younis
