The Dead Sea became my temporary residence, forced out of my home by brutal acts of violence. Now it is the setting in which I need to find connection, meaning, spiritual growth and inner transformation from a lost life and path, into a new and altered understanding of the world.
Between ragged rocks and silvery waters this is a place to ask and answer, what is the meaning of things, how can one reconnect to the soul of the world, to time and the delicate strings that hold together all living things. What are the secret healing powers this ancient treasure holds locked between mountains.

Created in the Dead Sea region, the work is a quest for salvation, one that confronts extremes in the lowest place on earth (-430.5 below sea level)
