"Ruderal communities" is a botanical term describing the first plant species to colonize disturbed or degraded soils. These are the fast-growing grasses and shrubs found on roadsides, vacant lots, and landfills. The series of ink drawings refers to this term both concretely, in depicting this vegetation, and metaphorically, to designate communities and life forms that inhabit disturbed and depleted environments. The images in this series relate to the Abu Kabir neighborhood in Yafa/Tel Aviv.
