The mission of the Face2Face Project is to bring some form of peace between Israel and Palestine by using human faces to pull them together by drawing attention to the striking similarities between the two dissident groups.
The plan is to post huge, blown up images of Israelis and Palestinians going about their lives in the exact same way on opposite sides of the seperation wall, drawing undeniable attention to the fact they the two sides are like twin brothers... just raised in different families.
The project hopes to use humour and emotion to strike in people the realization that a peaceful solution is attainable, fostering a mentality of understanding, tolerance and optimism
