Abstract
This thesis builds a conceptual, theoretical, and cultural framework for the works I presented in my MFA thesis exhibition entitled Pillar of Cloud and Shamayim (there are waters). To this end, I utilize a blend of personal narrative, expository writing, and critical analysis that explores the various facets of our complex relationship to the Israel-Palestinian conflict and our search for the divine. Through this lens, this paper addresses the conceptual and material nature of my process, from how I gather and edit video footage, to how I find way to give physical form to the videos in an exhibition. I consider this writing to be a mechanism to frame and project working strategies that will continue to fuel my artistic practice in the coming years.
