Description"Irina Rozovsky’s project One to Nothing depicts an Israel we do not see on the news. Her images describe a place beyond politics; they do not defend a side or critique the conflict. Israel is seen as a mythological backdrop to the age-long struggle between man and the dusty, sun-bleached landscape of his origin. A loose, subtle, and open-ended narrative, One to Nothing describes a historic tension with unusual observations. This beautiful, limited-edition color print portrays two brothers locked in a stalemate on the shores of the Dead Sea, a battle we seem to have been fighting since the beginning of time."
