MIRA MAYLOR
60 x 60 x 50 cm.
Home Concept includes an installation made of
thick, rusty iron and encompassing a small glass house. The house 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 one thread.
The duality of innocent, childlike security on
the one hand and the sense of threat hanging over the house on the other is
present in other aspects of Israeli life also – in the undermining of the sense
of personal security caused by violent events.
