Artist Rana Bishara uses cactus to represent the remains and ruins of the landscape. The cactus has carried unique symbolic value as a natural delineator of areas that were destroyed and erased in 1948, and as a recognized symbol of steadfastness. In her installation The Roadmap for Elimination, 2006–Ongoing, Bishara has created a chamber in which dried cacti remains are sown with the black threads that hang them from above. These fragile looking husks cast their shadows on walls plastered with maps that convey the systematic fragmentation and disappearance of the Palestinian landscape.
