Summer and winter, seasons and holidays. Not everyone will be taken to the future.
Crust is a work about Israel and the world, twenty-twenty-four. Meeting – glance – disconnection. Penetrating eyes.
Red, dense smoke obscures the vision. Forbidden pleasure appears. Intrusion into territory with unclear boundaries.
A sensitive microscope sharpens the vision. Water splashes on a body. Invasion. Forbidden pleasure.
