365 is a wall drawing painted with gouache and assembled with, push pins and white cotton strings. It is based on a series of digital photographs extracted from satellite footage and data that transmit a yearlong movement of one Hyena who lives between Israel and the West Bank Barrier. The animal became a victim of violence on Palestinian territory and therefore was rescued by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). After its recovery, the Hyena was released with a tracking transmitter. This incident reveals how animal protection transforms into a form of control and highlights the way in which the animalistic is reduced into statistics - a visual abstraction of characters, symbols, lines, and dots.
