RETURN

RETURN focuses on two villages in occupied West Jerusalem. Ayn Karem and Lifta. In 2019 I visited Palestine and 3D scanned architecture and landmarks that have either been destroyed by Israel or taken by them.  These scans are surrounded by a sci fi inspired futuristic environment, an image of hope, to give Palestinians who are often cut off from visiting these landmarks and their allies a chance to visit these landmarks that makes us as a people- who we are.

In the game the player has to collect soil, seeds and water and deposit them at the end and watch their home grow.
