The artist is seeking the narrative that is hidden and buried in the landscape. The spirit is inherent in Safran-Hon&#8217;s intellectual construction, and, as the journey described in <i>sefer hechaloth<\/i>, the inner odyssey within oneself (Anselm Kiefer) permeates her entire body of work.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Safran-Hon&#8217;s process lingers at the intersection of drawing, photography, sculpture, and painting, focusing on the internal energy of the material, continuously emboldening the viewer to look beyond the surface. Her work is anchored in undeniable reality, yet she unceasingly builds by extracting the essence from the soul of the materials she uses, thus transforming preexisting contexts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Safran-Hon uses a unique process to transform her photographs into evocative paintings with strong impressionist undertones. Cutting through the photograph and canvas, Safran-Hon pushes concrete through the lace stretched over these empty spaces then paints on top, imbuing each piece with a sculptural quality whose dimensionality causes the eye to stick in the nooks and crannies of the work, lingering over objects\u2014some immediately recognizable, some requiring effort to piece back together.<span
