Description: Ilkka Uimonen travelled to Jerusalem on September 25, 2000, to photograph a story in the Old City. Three days later Ariel Sharon visited the Temple Mount and the Al-Aqsa mosque, in what seemed to the watching world to be a flagrant disregard for the sensitivities of the Palestinians. There began at once a cycle of violence that has yet to be resolved. As the vehemence escalated, Uimonen sought out flashpoints on both sides, Palestinian and Israeli.
Notes: "All the photographs in Cycles were taken between September 2000 and December 2002."
