Efrat Arielle Peleg　ペレグ エフラート アリエル

The print represents histories different people share on the same land and how uncovering the past leads to a better understanding of identity. Through a closer look at shared histories, movement becomes a key role in depicting these stories. In telling our stories about our histories, the past contains both sorrowful impressions but is also central for allowing us to collaborate in this day and age. This work tells about shared stories of the past through movement and dance to represent the duality memory and the past has on our identities.
