Umbilicus is a multifaceted and multisensory exhibition: physically and metaphysically. It creates symbolic systems both personal and universal and connects them to the concepts of umbilicus: A central axis, the world. This narrow, arched structure, 450 meters long, contained former prison cells with graffiti etchings by Etzel prisoners from the British Mandate period, remnants of the majestic Ottoman walls, foundations of King Herod’s palace, archaeological finds dating back to the Hasmonean period 2200 years ago, and deep underground, a massive wall from the time of the kings of Judea during the First Temple period (8th century BCE).​ In the Kishle moat, the exhibition Umbilicus reveals layers of creativity, emphasizing the female voice and the connection between body, creation, sound, and movement.
