'Lilies of the Field' is a series of luminous prints created by Dor Guez, inspired by a flower album discovered at the American Colony archive in Jerusalem. The album, dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was a popular souvenir among Western tourists and pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. Guez's work examines the way nature was re-contextualized for the Western eye, with plants often misidentified or re-labeled with biblical references, such as anemones being called "lilies of the field."

Through extensive research, Guez uncovered inaccuracies in the plant classifications and their connection to the local landscape. He photographed both the pressed flowers and the traces of residual pigment left on the protective sheets. These photographs were then reconstructed into radiant, cyanotype-like prints, revealing the passage of time and questioning the authenticity of historical narratives. The series explores the intersection of nature, culture, and memory, highlighting how the natural world was shaped by colonial and Orientalist perspectives.
