I am focusing on Israel in order to ask: what is this place where I grew up?
How long will this troubled nation continue to perpetuate this pattern of
ignorance? By manipulating form, sound and movement, I create work that triggers personal resonance. Personal, intimate reactions have the potential to provoke honest responses and perhaps replace the predictable, controlled reactions encouraged by the state.
