While making drawings about elephants, Mina became aware of a resonance between her passion for elephant conservation and her feelings about Jewish identity and survival.
She is currently working on a new series of paintings in the aftermath of 7th October 2023, starting with 'Nova'. This work will form part of a series on contemporary antisemitism.
Her award-winning piece 'Witness' has been featured in the Jewish Chronicle and on the cover of the The Rebirth of Antisemitism in the 21st Century edited by David Hirsh.
Nearly three metres tall, Witness bears testimony to an ancient hatred morphing into a modern intolerance. While its intention is to encourage deeper thinking and conversation, its scale speaks of the epic nature of the challenge. The first in a series on antisemitism, its message is both personal and universal.
