‘Israeli Girls’ is an exploration of beauty ideals by Tel Aviv-based photographer Dafy Hagai, originally published as a zine and soon to be published as a book with the same title. Influenced by teen film directors and Americana photographers she takes these inspirations and translates them into local aesthetics and her own minimalistic, color-coded and graphic visual language.
