While studying at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, I have been particularly drawn to express myself through visuals including photography and video.
In this body of work I deal with questions of identity and home. Through a series of portraits and spaces i was an attempt to process the nested sense of alienation both in my parents and this country. here i am trying to convey a lack of belonging that i have and the subject i take, all refugees in their own way. everyone certainly hunted, half cunning hunters.
Adolescence in the shadow of patriarchal father threatened and alienated precisely reflected the direct and provocative look of the subject. between all of them created an intimate friendship.
In these Photographs i try to capture the duality between animal instinct, wild and domesticated and submissive.
