Captured

Echoes of absence: hostages family photos recreated

By Sharon Derhy 

The "Captured" initiative, which advocates the return of the Israeli hostages, was launched by photographer and artist Sharon Derhy, the daughter-in-law of Chaim Peri, who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz.

Chaim was murdered. His body was recovered from Gaza on August 20, 2024.

The photos of the families before and after their loved ones were captured.

I show a few - the first is that of Omer Neutra whose body is held in Gaza, and the other one is of people who are hopefully still alove there and will be returned soon. The second photo is of three brothers, two held in Gaza.
