A moving image artwork that deals with the act of sculpting as an act of marking territories and
sacrificing: A father and son find themselves alone, naked and lost in the Golf Course of Caesarea, they seek for a sign, a revelation, an answer for an unknown inner conflict but nothing seems to appear.
