My project is in stills photography showing Hiriya, formerly Israel’s largest landfill and now an extensive waste transfer station. A sea of consumer products and used packaging reach their final stage here and are laid to die. Like a man struggling against the waves of a cruel, mighty sea – so as an artist, my self, feels like standing on top of the observatory spot in front of the huge gushes of waste, threatening to engulf me. The act of documentation becomes a warning sign against the mounting hazards of trash in our world
