In the year 2000, a few months after I moved to the US, the Argentinean economy crashed. This fact forced me to find "art supplies" in things that I had at hand. I started making three-dimensional maps out of my own clothes, documenting my journey from Israel to Argentina, and then to the US.
For Argentineans the cow is a symbol of national identity: it's the core ingredient in most people's diet and one of the main exports of the country. By creating sculptural works where cows appear skinned, tortured, or dismembered, I intend to speak about the conflictive relationship between homeland and emigres, at the same time that I bring attention to the physicality of our existences, the escalating violence that we became accostomed to, and the longing that results when the body is displaced.
