I am a multidisciplinary artist working in a wide range of mediums and techniques, such as painting, sculpture, ready-made, and more. The urban space serves as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for me. Houses and streets have intrigued me since childhood, and as a teenager, I spent many hours wandering the alleys of Jerusalem. Paul Auster, Sophie Calle, and Georges Perec were my guides, infusing the streets with imagination and hidden stories. I create worlds through architectural models of an alternate reality where memories and fiction coexist. Imaginary glass cities built from writing utensils, an architectural model simulating a brain with dozens of cardboard houses and a toy train passing through, and a return to the familiar territory of Israeli housing complexes — each representing ever-changing worlds. In my artwork and research, I aim to create a platform to describe my inner world and its relationship to the surrounding world. I study time and space, seeking moments between the starting point and the final destination, the random points hidden on the map. I strive to merge personal identity with the unique identities of the cities, places, and people I encounter. Collecting fragments of memories along the way, I reassemble stories, places, and houses I've experienced or imagined. The city, in its various components, serves as a platform for observing my inner world and its interaction with the outer world. I have also begun using architectural terms to describe ideas, feelings, and emotions. For example, my work "The Brain/City" is a model of an imaginary city as a human brain. This artwork features dozens of cardboard houses with a toy train passing through the neighborhoods, accompanied by recordings of various memories and inner voices in the background.
