Photograph of the back of an Israeli history textbook against a white background. A block of Hebrew text is set against a tan color between blue rules. A rectangle has been cut down through the cover to reveal a photograph of the 1948 Palestinian Nakba from deeper in the book showing a tent encampment.

Textbook, 2016-2018.

A function draws rectangles in different sizes with different offsets on a canvas. The rectangles are used to cut into Israeli history textbooks in order to identify patterns in settler colonial pedagogy.
