Rula Halawani
The Warm Light Still There
In “The Warm Light Still There” (2004), photography project, Rula Halawani presents eight photographs of the old city of Jerusalem by night. The streets empty as though deserted and abandoned; occupied by a strong silence and shadow of night. Yet, Halawani expresses a desire to portray a connection to history, to record memories of her childhood past within the city - the warm amber light coming from street lights conveying a sense of the hopeful. The project was exhibited at the Spafford Children's Centre, Haret al Sa’idiyeh, Old City.
