She has been included in the Computer Art Congress and has published in the Europia Productions journal. Her “Infinite Flux” series was on view in August 2012 at the Martine Chaisson Gallery in New Orleans.
Batya’s work is informed by the aesthetic, history and the changing socio-poltical attitudes that are connected to the middle eastern landscape of her early childhood and growing up in New York City. Batya’s conceptual ideas include notions of displacement, mortality and the fragmentation of society, cultures and identity in the age of remote image consumption. Combining a narrative approach while maintaining a dialogue with the tradition of image-making expresses a yearning for meaningful grasp of the ambiguous relationship between “illusion” and what we call “truth.
