A painting of a flat object appealed to me as a subversion of a hundred years of flatness. I was also attracted to the symbol of a wall, that has had religious significance for thousands of years. A place of gathering and contemplation, the Western Wall was also a window into the contemporary dilemmas that face us as our cultural attachments fracture into a new global reality. In this wall, you can see an image of ‘the other’ that compelled us to build walls, temples, and fortresses for most of human history.
