Concern about national and religious conflict in the Middle East has been the subject of my work for the last decade.
All Israelis and Palestinians are entitled to justice, freedom and a decent life. Despite the huge inequalities on the ground, achievement of equality and dignity should remain a realistic hope.
Light- dark reversals and the doubling of images or words are structural strategies in my work that indicate both connection and opposition.
Issues of conflict, oppression, suffering and national aspiration are not particular to the Middle East, as we all know. My more recent work addresses broader human experience and the tolls of war.
