About

Throughout the course of my life, I have found myself drawn to the nature of social textures. The behavior of a human within a group, and the individual and collective relation that man derives from his meaningful experiences.

My works deal with intimate connections between people. Creating new and unconventional spaces in which the person or group receives new meaning through the medium of photography, interactive installations, or a transformative event.

In my photographic work, I move from a conceptual to a documentary style and seek the balance between the intimate and personal search that takes place throughout the stages of a photographic process. In the face of creating a fantastic and expressive world that is freed from time and place constraints and gives freedom to the alter ego created by the encounter between me and my subject.

I am a co-founder of Midburn (Burning Man Israeli regional) and co-founder of Fugara art collective, an interdisciplinary group of artists that create interactive and immersive experiences through large-scale installations.

As an artist-activist, I try to integrate my passion into my projects. Walking on the line between being events creation to art director in various projects in the business world as well in the free culture field.

In recent years, especially around corona time I felt compelled to take a more active part in my social and political environment due to relationships I developed with Social Activists and Palestinian Peace Activists. I found myself documenting the reality I see around me and within that try and create a narrative that bridges these worlds.
