The Golden Meir” is a series that tries to encapsulate that unembodied feeling of belongingness in a foreign environment. The Series, taken in various locations in Berlin and its surroundings, depicts feelings towards being an immigrant, and the constant look for an “alternative” family, Using Golda Meir as a strong female role model.
The first pictures in the series were taken during a trip to Poland. It followed a line of consequential traumatic events that happened in the photographer’s life
and led to a long period of recovery. The trip was meant to bring some comfort in the shape of an intimate weekend with close friends.
The series of pictures of friends wearing the Golda Meir masks try to realize that uncanny feeling forced harmony and protected in unfamiliar surroundings. The new family that is
realized through the use of masks, comes with its own new mythology, dynamics, and fears.
The mask, with its emotionless expression, has the potential to become a danger.

My fascination with abandoned eastern European factories is manifested in a constant search for capturing the essence of those places with her camera. Using a unique technique of combining multiple exposures into one complete image, I try to create images that reflect the true colors and “feel” of the factories.
