These textile-based pieces emerged as a way to process and transform personal experience. Working with fabric, thread, and mixed materials, I give form to inner states that are often difficult to express in words. Each piece becomes a container for emotion, a quiet attempt to hold, to mend, to share. These works are about presence and vulnerability: a gesture of staying in contact with what is fragile, shifting, and deeply human.
Pulsating Expectation of Return, 2025
The shape of Israel is cut from fabric, embroidered by yellow thread, the color of hope and return. Red threads stretch from it in all directions: traces of pain, bombings, ruptures, and emotions. These threads connect the shape to another element, a stylized heart, representing the hearts of all Jews, all Israelis, and everyone who feels with us.
At the center of the heart is a yellow zipper. It stands as a symbol of closure that can only happen once all the hostages return home. Until then, the heart remains open, vulnerable.
From one of the wounds, an orange thread emerges: a quiet, almost hidden element. It is a remembrance of the red-haired children who could not be saved. A memory that not everything can be brought back, but nothing must be forgotten.
This piece is about waiting.
A waiting that pulses in every heart.
About broken connections, hope, and how the personal becomes collective.
“Rising from the Darkness”, 2025
״Rising from the Darkness״ is a textile reflection on pain, hope, and life emerging from ashes. This piece was born after a visit to Hula Lake, right after a temporary ceasefire in the north. In the quiet nature reserve, I saw scorched trees, charred silhouettes frozen in silent screams. They stood as open wounds on the body of nature, left by war.
When I returned home, I began to weave this memory into fabric. The red drops represent both tears and flames rising upward, symbols of grief, but also cleansing and transformation. Three tiny green leaves on the side speak of the possibility of rebirth, the quiet resilience of life. The yellow ribbons are a symbol of return: the return of light, of those held in captivity, of hope itself.
This piece is a bridge between sorrow and renewal, between destruction and a new spring.
“Dreams of Cotton Harvested on 6th October 2023”, 2024
This piece is created on unbleached cotton fabric, as a reminder that it is part of nature, and that it can carry the memory of pain. At the center is a cotton plant I harvested on October 6, 2023, just hours before the war began.
White cotton symbolizes purity and life. Red is the trace of pain and blood that soaked into the land. These two colors are connected by a thread that shifts from white to red and back again, like the path from peace to war, and with hope, finally from war back to peace. The red fabric insert at the bottom points to the roots of these events, going deep into our land, the same land from which the white cotton grows. Here is reflected the ancient Hebrew meaning of the word Adama, which is linked both to the earth and to the color red, symbolizing blood and the richness of life. And at the top: a red Anemone flower.
This spring bloom, rising from the ashes of the past, has become a symbol of memory, resilience, and the return of life. It tells us: even through pain, something can grow. Even through blood, rebirth is possible.
