Erasing The Green
32 prints- documents, maps and photographs; mounted on 7m x 2.7m wall accompanied by a video (14:19 mins) created in in collaboration with Adv. Michael Sfard and Prof. Oren Yiftachel that gives insights to the documents  and original music by Ran Livneh 
The project presents the blurring of the Green Line for Israelis and its consolidation for Palestinians, through important planning and legal decisions

“In her work for the 12th Berlin Biennale, the artist reports on a harsh reality, where surreal elements are already present in the daily lives of its subjects. ERASING THE GREEN (2021/22) addresses both the degradation of occupied Palestinian lands and the erasure of the notorious Green Line to benefit only one of the populations it separates: Israeli settlers. The piece consists of prints of various dimensions—documents, photographs, and maps, among others—accompanied by a video of an online conversation with two experts, who discuss the blurring of the Green Line through planning policies and legal mechanisms that intensify the state-sanctioned polarization of these ethnic groups. ERASING THE GREEN unpacks some of the immensely oppressive systems that maintain a reality that goes against both human nature and the natural world.”
