This work refers to the relationship between Israel and Palestine. A map of the two countries is etched onto a piece of Hebron marble that sits in the pocket of a wool sling, a traditional Middle Eastern weapon. The track of the marble’s rotation, carved into the wall in a worn circle, indicates that the fates of the two countries are historically and inextricably linked.
