​

Shira works in photography, moving image, text, and sound. Her motivation for her works comes from being or looking for a place that gives her a feeling of comfort and security. While there, she asks questions about intimacy, personal experiences, and how a story of oneself is constructed. The place is either a physical one, such as an apartment or a public park, or a metaphorical one, such as social media or a file. Bar attempts  combine images (either still or moving) and other means of language for these questions to float and evolve. She sees her works as a form of potential dialogue with each person who sees them. She does not aim to propose one-sided answers but rather aims to stay in the ‘in-between’ space, seeing it as continuous questions that change throughout time.
