This masterpiece was created during the artist's residency in Ein Hod, Israel, known as "the city of artists," a renowned artists' colony established in 1953. Reyes spent a year in this artistic grouping alongside Jewish artists from 86 differnet countries. It was here where she developed an affinity for the landscape she witnessed growing in the form of forests, villages, and cement factories in areas that were previously desert.

The painting is composed of a rich, earthy palette featuring burnt umbers, raw sienna, ochre, and orange tones. Reyes employs defined shapes to create textures through her characteristic visual language of repeating lines, while emphasizing the materiality of the oil paint. These carefully constructed shapes collectively form the ground, mountains, windows, walls, and roofs of houses within the landscape. The deep brown background serves as space for trees and vegetation, which are then detailed with thick, fuzzy black lines.

The work brilliantly captures the transformation of the Israeli landscape during this pivotal historical period, reflecting both Reyes' evolving artistic vision and her response to witnessing a nation under construction.
