Below Dina talks about some of her personal projects:

TRACKRECORD

‘Trackrecord’ began with my interest in gambling in general and turned into what I have termed as my photo anthropological quest. At first I wanted to visually document today’s ‘instant gratification’ society that prays off of those who crave immediate contentment. I specifically related with this phenomenon, as I am prone to the excitement it offers. My plan was to cover bingo halls, casinos, the track, pool halls, the Internet and anywhere else that gamblers congregate. My project took a different direction after my first visit to Hastings Park. ‘Trackrecord’ began with my interest in gambling in general and turned into what I have termed as my photo anthropological quest.

GAZA AND WESTBANK

I was quite aware of the violent terrorist acts taking place before I had arrived in Israel, but still I was overwhelmed with the country's immense political disharmony. After engaging in many political oriented conversations with my Israeli peers, I realized how separated the two groups are on a human level. In fact most Israelis would not dare to have a Palestinian friend or visit the once occupied territories. I traveled to Gaza and the West Bank and discovered a world very different to what we see in the papers and on the news.

DAVID

I began photographing David years ago, when we first met. I soon realized that together we created a dynamic artistic chemistry, clearly visualizing unique images and concepts. It was at this point that we decided to join creative forces and to work on a series. Our project would represent one model, "DAVID".
