I applied the Observer tile grid to a map of the region, to create a background for text I came across in my research. This resulted in two digital pieces.

From the River to the Sea is named after the phrase chanted by pro-Palestinian supporters on marches and gatherings across the western world. Politicians and mainstream media claimed it called for the obliteration of the Israeli state. Various governments banned it from use, and in the UK the chant was defined as "hate speech". 

In fact, a similar phrase is enshrined in the 1977 founding charter of Likud, the Israeli government's controlling party – except it is reversed to "between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty". In other words, Likud refuses to relinquish its military control of the occupied Gaza and West Bank, and will never agree to a two-state solution.

Led by Benjamin Netanyahu, Likud's coalition with ultranationalist and ultra-Orthodox parties (who wish to enforce religious prohibitions over democratic liberties) has led to a hard right theocracy. Israeli liberal newspaper Haaretz has also revealed that Netanyahu deliberately encouraged the funding of Hamas with the aim of increasing its advantage over the Palestinian Authority's ability to govern the Palestinian territories.

From the River to the Sea was donated to the Art Raffle for Al Mawasi, held in July 2024 and exhibited at the White Rock Hotel, Hastings. It was organised by Stella Dore Gallery, Hastings Art School, Hastings & District Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Hastings Friends of Al Mawasi.
