Jews, all over the world, used to keep soil from the holy land in small boxes. They used the soil in burial ceremonies. It represented their connection to their past and their collective identities. It was their most prized possession.

Home Concept seems to be a rendering of a generic childhood home, innocent, outlined in shaky lines of delicate, fragile glass. At first sight it appears to be enveloped within the protective iron, but a more in-depth look reveals a heavy, threatening trap, a tool of destruction, hanging by a find thread. The duality of innocent, childlike security on the one hand, and the sense of threat hanging overt the house on the other, is present in other aspects of Israeli life, undermining the sense of personal security caused by violent events.
