The body of work was shown at Ishara Art Foundation in Dubai last month as part of Prix Pictet “Storm” — an edition of the international photography prize that focuses on the theme of climate, social and humanitarian crises.
Rather than faces, Khaled, who was born in Khan Younis, Gaza, chose hands as his primary subject — a decision shaped by both observation and personal injury.
