Portraits of victims of sponge bullets, known as the "black sponge bullet" (model 4557), made of synthetic rubber. They serve as non-lethal anti-riot weaponry in East Jerusalem. Regulations pertaining to the use of these bullets state that shooting directed at the upper part of the body is forbidden, and the bullet should not be used against children, the elderly, or pregnant women. This new model, which has been in use for the past two years, has caused tens of serious head injuries, and about half of the people injured are minors. Fourteen residents have lost one or both eyes. Those photographed in the project were not suspected of disrupting order and no legal action was taken against them. The project was photographed about eighteen months after Mayer suffered an injury to her jaw as a result of being shot by a black sponge bullet, while she was documenting a demonstration in the Shuafat Neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
