Spolia is a series whose title is a
Greek word referring to the secondary use of elements from destroyed buildings
in new structures. The term “Spolia” might imply that these fragments were
taken at random from other monuments and simply reused. This repurposing
creates a chain of “rebirth” in the new buildings, conserving the memory of the
past within the present, embodying future promise.

It is characteristic to Jerusalem that
every corner contains within itself the history of many religions, different
times, and the whole city is filled with layers upon layers that are
interconnected with each other.

These works are made of various pieces,
each containing countless traces of different periods in history, mixture of
decorations, several religions, coins and symbols.

In these works, Sher also connects
between shapes and periods, as if someone is creating an archeological digging
site, and then randomly connects the findings.
