While the architectural model usually translates reality into abstraction by unifying colors and materials, here, the accumulation and cohesive arrangement of replicas taken from communities living under radically different conditions reveal their formal distinctions and the power structures that produce and sustain them.
These differences, shaped by the policies and practices of the occupying Israeli state and rendered less visible in photographic documentation, are made explicit through the architectural installation
