Jerusalem Home simulates a mechanism designed to
raise water from an underground well. It is based on an architectural feature
that was present in every house constructed in ancient Jerusalem – a rainwater
reservoir. The work consists of a suspended installation constructed of massive
iron and thick rope, creating the impression that it can barely bear the weight
of the enormous green glass vessel. It combines water as a symbol of life, on
the one hand, and a suspended scaffold mechanism on the other. The glass object
too is strange, reminiscent of some internal organic organ, like a heart with a
life of its own.

The tension supported by the installation is
obvious, the effort required to hold up the suspended glass object symbolizing
an image of Jerusalem bowed by the weight of emotions, myths and the endless
con icts that make up its existential, urban reality.
