Early Beginnings

My journey in photography began at the age of fourteen, in the darkroom of the Carmit boarding school in Jerusalem. Over three formative years, I spent countless hours watching images slowly emerge in trays of developer; a quiet ritual that shaped my intuition and my lifelong relationship with light. Since then, my camera has become what I call my “time cage.”

 

Self-Directed Growth

My development as an artist has been shaped by years of self-directed exploration; reading extensively, experimenting continuously, and refining my work through focused study and practice. This long independent path allowed my artistic language to grow from experience, observation, and introspection rather than from formal instruction.

 

Studio Practice

I work primarily in still life, with a natural inclination toward the metaphysical. In the studio I built for myself, I construct three-dimensional installations from simple raw materials such as wood, plaster, metal, leaves, flowers, ropes, found objects, and at times fire, water, or smoke. The studio is a space of clarity, reflection, and deliberate slowness: a place where light becomes language and objects reveal their hidden tensions.

 

Artistic Approach

My installations explore what lies beneath the visible: the quiet pulse within stillness, the fragile balance between order and chance, and the subtle dialogue between light and time. I search for the spaces between things; the moments where meaning hesitates, shifts, or gently emerges.

 

My process is patient and intentional. Each frame becomes a small stage in which thought, material, and light negotiate their presence. For me, the camera is not a device for capturing, but for witnessing; translating quiet ideas into visual form, one still moment at a time.
