“You See” desires to present the interior reality of both adults and children in the exterior, an internal world in an outer landscape. My homeland of Israel is used as a backdrop. A place that is as emotionally charged as it is politically burdened is photographed through eyes desiring to put aside the use of recognizable images of conflict, but rather as a space of contemplation and reflect.
The notion of ‘fitting’ or ‘fitting in’ is dominant and there is an acute awareness of a place, sensed from afar, predominantly by those away from home. . The primary relationship visible is that of the sitters with their surroundings, the exterior – their ‘temple’. Frozen ordinary acts, play as isolated moments of contemplation shown in extraordinary, yet somehow familiar, surroundings.”
