The Works of Shimon Lev are dealing with the artists identity as a Jew and Israeli, his experiences serving in the Israeli forces and the process of abandoning religion. He describes a state of "Schizophrenia"  as part of normal life in Israel as well as the complicated present identity
of his family and their background in Vienna and Berlin.
