My graduation piece 2.15m3 is a continuation of my practice. It is an object inhabiting a space and me as a performer inhabiting the space of the object.  The space that I usually inhabit is defined by the everyday actions associated with that space and the dimensions of me.  These dimensions become a way of …

“How are you?” is a common, everyday question, but it confuses me. How do I know if this is a real question or just a phrase that a person used to greet me instead of hello. It is also difficult to judge whether I am doing well or not, because the concepts of good and …

This work is an attempt to capture the search for identity and document how new pieces are added into one’s self. The main theme is brought forth through various subjects and practices: naming, persons and personas, relating and imitating, music, ballet and gender.

 The painting series “Trivial” depicts a fictional dystopian world, where humans matter absurdly less than what they do. The series is both an illustration and a caricature on the topic of alienation.  The exhibition consists of three paintings, which are mostly inspired by metaphysical painting and magic realism.

In my painting series, I study my interest towards combining childish drawing (while being based on the drawn characters from my daughters’ artwork) and the classically constructed oil painting and the painting process layer by layer, based on several photographic references. I am intrigued by the way the clumsy characters relate to a realistic plan. …

The biological human body is at the heart of my art practice, with which I work in the frontiers between abstraction and the body. This form represents a bridge between human nature and nature itself. The created painting surfaces have begun from reflections on nature or the processes of the body. Since the body in …

“Events Stand still” is a musical work that grew out of writing and recording a radio play. Album’s  9 tracks consist of 9 telephone calls, connected by storytelling. Instead of a linear narrative, the work could be seen as a selection of sonic vignettes, the content of which conveys the everyday climate of a group …

My Yiddish Learning is a project centered around exploring my Jewish identity while learning the Yiddish language. The written text tells a story that began in early 2021, as I asked the most basic question : “Do I count as a Jew?” As I started to make sense of my position as a Patrilineal Jew, …

I used the term ‘Limbo’ to describe a state of mind in which an individual consciously or unconsciously build narratives according to their best social understanding. Those narratives can be built brick by brick by observing various social factors such as social circumstances, social conditions, social media, social influence, etc. The narrative that has been …
