After 3 years of studies, at the Hadassah College in Jerusalem, in which I was educated about technical abilities and stylish compositions I've decided to let loose, to explore myself as a person, and the essence of photography.

 

I started to photograph this project, in 2004, using a plastic camera, “Holga”, that offers me mobility and freedom of action. The majority of my energy is focused on the content of the photo and not on searching for the right exposure. Nevertheless my works are still characterized by stylish, designed frames.

The saturated colors, with the soft focus, light leaks and a black frame that reminds the view through binoculars, takes the photographs out of its original context, place and time in which they were taken, and gives them a new “life”.

 

My photographic journeys lead me to the connection between the city and nature, gradually hurt by man. I check the surface, shreds of reality, I examine myself, the nation I'm part of, humanity, the power balances between them. The constant tension between the past and the future; between man and the environment, and between me, myself and my emotions.

 

I'm interested in taking the viewer into those districts, to stimulate the viewer to feel and to interpret this reality according to his own personal charges. The viewer is invited to take part in a journey to districts of the memory; a present that is still a past; a shattered reality, fragments of meaning and meaninglessness that characterize this era in which we live.
