In Portraits of Places, the artist captures the distinct “characters” of cities she visited—Aqaba, Cairo, Luxor, and Tel Aviv—using a blend of architectural drafting and collaging. Each portrayal is selectively focused, emphasizing specific aspects of these cities and offering perspectives that differ from the actual site experience. By embracing the inherent partiality of these representations, Portraits of Places fosters open-ended narratives that invite viewers to engage with the spatial interpretations and connect them to their own experiences.
