The work is part of a big series of Terrazzo paintings, which Geva created between 1998 until now. It exists as an abstract painting and in the same time, in a dialectic way, it carries a very typical motive which represents the existential and political position in the daily life and the local urban architecture, in Israel and in the Middle East in general.
