These are some of the things I'm working on right now
My aim is to systematically document as much of Israel's wildflowers as I possibly can. With the assistance of Dr. Ori Fragman-Sapir, the scientific director of the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens and editor of the “Flora of Israel and adjacent areas” website, this endeavor seeks to provide a visual catalog of the region's plant species.
Works Inspired by Traditional Turkish and Armenian Ceramic Motifs
I'm currently working on a series of pieces inspired by the rich history of floral motifs brought to Israel over centuries. The traditions introduced during the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, and later on by Armenian artisans coming to Jerusalem, feature intricate designs of tulips, roses, hyacinths, cypress trees, and more, serve as a foundation for my work. I combine these historical elements with real scanned flowers native to Israel, as well as images of local animals and insects.
Tiny Sculpture World
Together with Atalya Shtoden, a wonderful artist and a great friend we make small sculpture from materials found in nature such as dried plants, feathers etc. More pictures coming soon :)
