These works depict alleys and streets
in certain areas of the old City of Jerusalem. The streets are illustrated in
disproportionate sizes, alluding to the division and disputes between diverse
religions, nations and communities, spanning thousand of years. The gold-leaf
circle depicts a holy place - a church, a synagogue or a mosque, in each work
it is placed at another location, as was the historical case throughout the ages.
