The drawings in this exhibition are based on photographic collages and digital montages. These montages are composed of photographs collected during nocturnal wanderings in the Jerusalem forest and along the edges of the city. Working from these assembled images, the artist develops large-scale drawings in which the act of drawing becomes physical and immersive. The scale of the works allows the entire body to participate in the process and invites the viewer to enter the drawn space.
The works respond to the expanding presence of abandoned buildings and neglected agricultural fields in many regions of Israel, particularly in the moshav landscape where the artist grew up. They are also informed by the demolition of the Revida stream and by direct encounters with animals that increasingly occupy human-built environments.
Spending extended periods of time in these peripheral areas reveals the ongoing transformations of the local landscape. The works observe processes shaped by human intervention: the loss of darkness, cycles of construction and destruction, and the gradual blurring of boundaries between the natural and the artificial
