"I wanted to record from my own private space how the July War was altering things around me. From my window, I was watching warships evacuating the foreigners and the [dual] nationality Lebanese who wanted to flee the country. In the meantime, the State of Israel was intercepting the broadcast of a radio station, Voice of the People, to broadcast an audio message threatening the Lebanese. With a digital camera and a mobile phone, I wanted to capture this moment of slippage."
