Outline

In Bor (“hole” in Hebrew), the artist attempts to manifest the architectonic, spiritual and emotional structure of the Tahara Mikve for Men (Jewish bathing place); examining the relation between religious, secular and masculine identity. In sequences of this work that uses drawings and videos, lights make each image apparent and movement becomes a crucial to the narrative.
