Time

2024

In this project, I worked with women residents of Sderot, each of whom welcomed me into her home and opened her heart. I sat with them, listening to their personal accounts of October 7th, as well as their reflections one year later-on rupture and on what might allow healing to begin. I photographed throughout the process. In addition, I also recorded all the women, recounting the heartbreaking moments of the morning of October 7th.

This project took place during an artist's residency in the city of Sderot in the summer of 2024, to which I was invited by the Adama Center. The project was presented in an exhibition at the "Veshivro" festival at the Adama Center - Dance and Art Center, Sderot.
