Consequently, Sabella has been giving a visual form through photomontage to the 'state of mind' of living in 'mental exile'. Steve Sabella studied art photography at the Jerusalem School of Photography and New Media in 1994, and holds a BA in Visual Arts from the State University of New York (2007).
