Border Crossings

Jordan Topp Bourj Al Barajneh refugee camp, Lebanon 19 July 2003

An miniature airplane hangs in the center of the ceiling fan. Mohammad points up at it, Nadia brought it for my nephew, Ahmad, but I took for myself. An airplane. The center piece of a room filled with symbols of a ravaged homeland. Palestine.
