I made this piece in response to memories of moving through one of the most heavily militarized Israeli checkpoints in the West Bank. 

Checkpoint 300 (Arabic: حاجز 300, Hebrew: מחסום 300), also known as the Bethlehem checkpoint, the Gilo Checkpoint, or the Rachel’s Tomb checkpoint, is a major Israel Occupation Forces checkpoint at one of the main exits of Bethlehem.^[1]
