Gaza I Spy is a powerful and poignant photography book in a luxurious coffee table book style, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of children in Gaza amid the ongoing Israel war. Through over 200 striking images, captured from October 2023 to the present, this book documents the resilience, innocence, and strength of Gaza’s youngest residents as they navigate life among the rubble.

Bound in elegant linen with a handcrafted back cover, Gaza I Spy juxtaposes the opulence of a coffee table book style with the raw reality of war, inviting readers to explore a world that is often inaccessible. The title, inspired by the familiar childhood game “I Spy,” reflects the layers of hidden truths and untold stories within the images.

Accompanied by quotes from poetry and news excerpts, each photograph becomes part of a larger narrative, offering a deeper understanding of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable hardship. Gaza I Spy is more than a book—it’s an urgent call to witness the unseen, hear the unheard, and engage with a story the world too often overlooks.
