This work, which is included in the series "Ran Out," creates an encounter between a local type of red ceramic clay (S5) that no longer exists in Israel or anywhere else in the world, and between porcelain - the noblest of ceramic materials. These objects contain cracks and distortions, and are characterized by a contrast between different materials and images - giving rise to a tension between processes of disruption and connection, the Middle East and the West, conquerors and those who are conquered.
