View Full Image

Since October 2023, the region of Israel and Palestine, has once again been affected by conflict. Local communities are directly facing the constant and overwhelming threat of violence; while the global communities are drawn into unending political and religious disputes.

In an effort to advocate for peace, this map is made from a nature-focused perspective, using an oblique map projection and shaded relief techniques to highlight the terrain. Acknowledging the complexity of deep political and religious history of this region, efforts are made to present an authentic depiction of this land, often referred to as flowing with milk and honey.

May peace be with Israel and Palestine.
