This series of ink drawings depicts the landscapes around the Abu Kabir neighborhood in Jaffa, which was built on the land of destroyed Palestinian neighborhoods and orange orchards. The drawings show the area’s typical patchwork of wasteland, ruins, and rampant urban development. “Ruderal communities” is a botanical term referring to plant species that colonize disturbed areas. It literally means “rubble communities.” I use the term both in the proper botanical sense and metaphorically to designate commonality in precarious and impoverished environments. This series was developed as part of a research group on Abu Kabir and exhibited at the Center for Digital Art in Holon, and included in a special online issue of Ma’arav Magazine.
