This project features a series of six textiles (150x100 cm each) and three unique, hand-crafted catalogues.

The collection is a textile series that portrays Dimona, the small desert city in southern Israel where I grew up. Through expressions of memory and longing, the project captures the essence of the city. The focus is on the government and public buildings that shape the urban landscape and tell the story of Dimona.

To capture the intense sunlight characteristic of Dimona, I employed the cyanotype technique (sun-printing).

This method allowed me to evoke the harsh desert sun, while also echoing architectural blueprints. The use of blue in the designs contrasts with the arid landscape, symbolizing the city’s resilience and the unique environment in which it thrives.

Textiles were chosen as the primary medium for this project due to the significant role that textile factories, established in the city, have played in its history. These factories are deeply intertwined with Dimona’s identity and development.
