Boy with Mural in Dheisheh Camp was selected in July for publication in Best of Photography 2018. Photographer's Forum magazine photo editor Nell Campbell selected the top 12% of over 8,760 entries from sixty countries worldwide. This photograph was also selected in August for a Photo Review magazine web exhibition. The mural is a copy of Palestinian political cartoonist Naj al-Ali's work. The text in it reads "My weapon comes out and tells me not to stop fighting for our land". In this case the weapon is a combination paintbrush and conductor's baton.
