This one is an experiment around processing, by combining satellite pictures from 2012 and 2025 and playing with fusion masks, the colors are very much artificial but the rest is not.

This one is not for the aesthetics. This one is because this genocide is happening under our eyes and even visible from space.

Free Palestine

Any genocide apology will get a block. Don't try.

A satellite picture of a vast industrial complex: dozens of long, low factory buildings packed tightly in parallel rows, their roofs forming a patchwork of muted browns, rust reds, pale yellows, and greens. Narrow internal roads, parked vehicles, and clusters of pipes and machinery border the rectangle-shaped site. A satellite picture of a tight lattice of long, bright-red factory sheds dominates the frame, with narrow service roads threading between them; along the far right edge sits a thin strip of smaller pastel-coloured industrial roofs. A satellite picture of the same complex, split into thirds: on the left, regimented rows of red and tan workshops; in the middle, a dense tangle of silvery pipes and heavy machinery; on the right, dark parallel stockpiles of coal or ore beside conveyors and a waterfront. A satellite picture of a wedge-shaped industrial peninsula—top lined with red-roofed plants, centre packed with processing units, bottom covered by sprawling black ore yards and piers—separated by water from a smaller dockland zone on the left.
