These color studies were created using D.N.A.'s Light Pollution

Los Angeles neighborhoods. The photographic paper used was exposed to
the light of the night sky, which turned the paper black.

What Color is Saturday?

My new apartment is next to the neighborhood siren. To me, the siren is like a modern-day village bell, announcing memorial days and emergencies. In other cities in Israel, sirens also announce Saturday's entrance on Friday evening, notifying Jewish believers to stop their everyday doings and to prepare for the coming holy day. The siren in my neighborhood does not announce Saturdays as the area's residents are mostly secular. In this series I have tried to replace the siren sound's function as Saturday night notifier and identifier with color by creating a palatte to define the coming day. The sky changing color behind the siren therefore functions as a litmus paper.
