“Just further down this path was Roy’s home. We sat with him on the porch and looked directly at Gaza. We weren’t afraid of anything,” Liza told one visitor, pointing to a photograph of a large Hamas drone lying on the ground at the entrance to the kibbutz, taken just minutes before the murders.
The exhibition, Threatening Beauty, opened Thursday at Beit Gabriel on the Sea of Galilee. For years, Edan documented the Gaza border region with a sensitive eye and remarkable talent, capturing its flowering fields, renewal and daily life alongside images of incendiary balloons, rocket impacts and casualties.
