Subject: Visions of the Eternal: Complex Representations of the Cosmos in Ancient Mediterranean Art (Hellenistic to Late Antiquity).

Supervisor: Prof. Rina Talgam.

Abstract: Her doctoral research focuses on complex representations of the cosmos in ancient Mediterranean art, spanning the Hellenistic, Roman, and early Christian periods. These artistic depictions translate abstract cosmological concepts into tangible visual forms, offering insights into how ancient societies conceptualized the divine order. She focuses on the more intricate examples, which aim to encapsulate various cosmic elements within a unified artistic framework.
