During nine months I lived in Tel Aviv. During this period I met four young Jewish women who were born in the USA. They had all decided, at the age of 18, to go to Israel to do the military service. After completing the required two years of service, they decided to stay and live in this idyllic Middle Eastern city. The images of these four women, in their underclothes or partially nude, are interspersed with landscape and detailed views of the city - old cars, over grown palm trees, porticos, puddles of water.

ポルトガル写真の新世代を担う1人として注目され、2005年には「Photo London - Emerging Artists Presentations」に選出された、ポルトガル人フォトグラファーJose Pedro Cortesの写真集。テルアビブで暮らす４人の元イスラエル軍女性兵士たちを主軸に、新しい視点で中東の美しい風景の中に潜む、社会的な問題にフォーカスしている。
