For me, the canvas is more than a surface—it is a terrain where reality is examined, challenged, and reshaped. My work explores painting as both a discipline and a tool for transformation. Since moving to Berlin two years ago, I have been navigating the complexities of identity, grappling with what it means to be an Israeli and a Jew today. My practice spans painting, drawing, printmaking, installations, and mixed media, engaging with historical and contemporary narratives.
