The majority of my inspiration stems from my traveling around the world and constant exploration/discoveries of new spaces. I think in images, shapes and colours, and I'm influenced by everything that happens around me. My work is also deeply involved in larger global and political issues and events. I have two different sides of my work , each representing a different aspect of my interest. Both co-exist in my mind, although they cannot live together in the same space. Being from Israel, The first facet of my work is politicly-driven, challenging issues of war, borders, and living under a constant state of emergency. My second line of work is more experimental, fun, and colourful. It deals with philosophical questions about the human nature, and challenges dominant concepts within the art-historical canon.
