My Heart is Here deals with the diaspora Jew experience idealization of Israel. Dara Alter paints  sculptural utopian landscapes, fictional places based on Israel, but inspired by memories.

Aerial landscapes, as well as a handful of representational images portraying Jerusalem will be displayed in the exhibition.
