Following the Sound is a long-term photography and audio project that traces the relationship between sound and place in the lives of Bedouin women in southern Palestine. Through photography and field recordings, the project explores how songs shape hidden forms of memory and spatial knowledge. The work investigates the limits of the photograph and everyday sounds, rather than relying on direct documentation.
