Artist Statement

In my work, I focus on developing new biotechnological techniques using innovative chemicals and combine them with traditional techniques such as photography, print , installation, sculpture and more.

I explore and document various individuals from different communities within Israeli and international society, such as the LGBTQ community, the Arab-Israeli community, the Russian community, the Ethiopian community, the BDSM community, and more.

I explore questions of personal identity, collective identity, belonging, and the relationship between human vs. human , and human vs. nature. Through this exploration, I draw comparisons between mental, social, and environmental development processes and biological-consciousness development processes to try to expose the common between all of us as humanity when we are not focusing on society definitions but as human nature as part of nature
