Mirit Cohen Caspi Presents her Backgammon Board
 |
Untitled 2008Focused on the struggle between two opposite forces, which represents the struggle that occurs inside the head of each of us. A human scalp with a centered parting is positioned on the wooden box. The checkerboard symbolizes a halved human brain of black and white colors. |
