This painting is part of the series “Late Summer Fields”, within the broader body of work “Body of Earth.”
The imagery draws on walking and observation of the Israeli desert landscape and the northern Negev.
The forms emerge through the process itself, through the drawing of line after line, from which an image unfolds and expands into a field—a movement shaped by the act of painting and the memory of the landscape.
The painted field is not a depiction of a specific place, but an attempt to capture a fleeting moment—the movement of light, heat, and wind—as they are inscribed in the body and in memory.
The painting moves between direct observation and an emerging memory, proposing a space in which the painting itself becomes a field
