Her main academic interests are the meaning and characteristics of the visual image from a psychoanalytic point of view. Her first book, Visual Text(a)iles: Narrative and Gaze in Painting, published by Bar Ilan University Press, deals with the relationship between the picture and the viewer through the concept of narrative. Her recent book (with Shirley Sharon Zisser) Art, Death and Lacanian Psychoanalysis, (Routledge), deals with the death drive in the arts.
