Roi Alter sees his work as a double-entity - an art work acting as political epigram, and political epigram acting as painting, although both entities are not making a big effort to conceal themselves.
It takes on the format of ancient art, reminiscent maybe of an altarpiece, a format always used for expressing firm beliefs and moral rules in addition to an artist's personal artistic dispositions. Its seemingly mathematical characteristics give it a sense of objectivity while the content is knowingly exaggerated and accentuated. Being a biased impression of Jerusalem and expressing a firm political opinion is not leaving that opinion open for any speculation.
