Inspired by rituals and narratives evolving the relationship between the wild and the man-made Cohen's drawings reflect ecological, socia, political and theological aspects that influence her everyday life. By documenting the process of growth and withering in the wild, with a simple ballpoint pen drawing, she corresponds with the old masters paintings and botanist drawings, in a criticizing and contemporary point of view.
Cohen's work portrays ancient multi-cultural elements, heritage and traditions that some are carried to this day, spotlighting local cultural characteristics such as talismans and amulets ascribing "Berachoth" (written blessings) and various folkloristic goods.
In her map series she brings together old map papers, and drawings of various wild flowers, sacred and cursed plants in Islam Judaism and Christianity, medicinal plants, talismans made of natural motifs and other organic items.
Cohen's drawings invite the audience to observe closely and consider questions regarding identity and evolution and bring to mind the dialectics between local and global, the planted and the uprooted, east and west, indoors and outdoors, nature and culture, entangling past and present, charted pathways and unrestrained nature.
