Stringing together pieces of terracotta clay with surgical thread, the artist creates an allusion to a dismembered body. The pieces, that were once part of a single lump of clay equal in weight to Yardena’s body, were repeatedly amputated, wrapped and sutured shut with surgical thread and later reconnected with the same material through a dark web dismembered but still together.
