Yousef Khanfar is a Palestinian photographer, writer, and thinker, who is always in search of peace, truth, and the meaning of life. He is one of the original minds of our time, yet sometimes far removed from it. His fidelity to art, peace, and humanity is reflected in his photography and writing. He occupies a unique place amid the pantheon of the world s greatest photographers. Yousef is a cultural leader whose love for his lost native land led him to create a wholly original vision in his art. This book, In Search of Peace, is an evocative and imaginative world of symbolism. It is a message of peace that transcends borders and emanates light to mankind. It is designed as a visual symphony divided into three movements of his breath-taking images and poetic writing. The first movement, "Sublime", shows images with the awe-inspiring power and conflict inherent in natural phenomena, which is a reflection of the harsh human conflict, where we continue to wage wars against each other and fight fire with fire. The second movement, "Freedom", exhibits his exquisitely crafted impressionist images that convey the human rights for freedom of self-expression, religion, speech and the search for the truth, peace, and love. The third movement, "Divine", displays images that reflect peace, tranquility, and spirit. This is where the promised paradise will be found, if we stand up together as one body of humanity for peace. Yousef also contributes a timeless, poetic, and passionate essay as his universal healing message for humanity. He motivates the reader to be Noble and a Giant. His thoughts are lucid and penetrating. This museum-quality artwork, full of beauty and inspiration, is designed to live with and return to when desired. -- amazon.com
