Walk on Water Videos

I often interpret texts by experiencing them on my own body, almost like tasting them. In this way, I can examine ideas and situations closely as I search for meaning and a sense of connection.

THE HOPE - 5:30 minutes


  

"Standing in soothing water, the artist scribes the words of the Israeli anthem on her arms in an intensifying pace. Her writing is inseparable from deleting: deletion allows continued writing, but also obscures previous words. How many words 'fit' on one arm? Which word is chosen to be separate? What additional / new meaning is charged into the words? References to gender, feminism, locality, and Israeliness arise.” Efi Gen, Curator,2019

 INTROSPECTION - 4:51 minutes


  

This is a rendition of the Yom Kippur Vidui prayer, which includes chanting 24 transgressions in alphabetical order while beating the chest. I took the original liturgy and choreography out to nature, pounding my chest with an inked fist as I carved each transgression in the sand and let the waves wash it away. Although the transgressions were gone, an ink stain remained on my white shirt as a reminder that actions leave marks.

CONCENTRIC - 5:13 minutes

 

This work addresses eternal questions: What is considered a progression, and what traces do our actions leave behind?
