471 days

Wars deepen inequalities, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable—children, women, and marginalized communities—and leaving wounds that last for generations. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is no exception. In the 471 days from Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2023, to the fragile ceasefire on January 19, 2025, approximately 48,500 people are estimated to have died, including over 46,900 Palestinians and 1,600 Israelis, according to the respective authorities. By then, this war had already accounted for nearly 80% of all Israeli-Palestinian war-related deaths since the first Intifada in 1987. The ceasefire collapsed on March 18, 2025. The installation captures these 471 days through vertical fabric columns descending from the ceiling—one for each day, with lengths representing that day’s reported deaths.
