The violence of the Israel-Palestine conflict marked Winner’s life early. During a previous round of fighting, in 2008, when Winner was in his twenties, he was working in the garden with his best friend’s father when a Hamas-fired rocket landed and blew the other man to pieces. Atary says the experience shaped Winner’s life: “His soul broke,” Atary told me, when we spoke. “His trauma started there.”Trauma became the preoccupation of his work.
