The identity of an immigrant is a continuous synthesis of self and world. In this manner I merge the building blocks of my identity; memories, cultural symbols, personal and collective narratives from Israel and London. I photograph flora and fauna on the seam between nature and culture, animals from zoos, national parks and nature reserves, symbols of architecture, botanical illustrations, and environments woven into our collective identity. Inspired by the formation of language, practices of taxonomy and places of public memory I reflect upon the way we evolve out of nature into culture.
