Landscape Painting On Wall, Dining Hall, Kibbutz Yiftach, 2015
I grew up in a Kibbutz in the north of Israel. The kibbutz dining hall was the beating heart of the community life and my childhood.
The landscape painting on the wall is the first artwork I remember as it was bought by the kibbutz in 1984, one year before I was born.

Minefield, Golan Heights, 2013
The Golan Heights is a demilitarized zone between Israel and Syria. A landscape that is a monument for conflict.
