My work explores aspects of light as a material, the pictorial potential of photography and the act of observing.

​

My photography practice originates from long stays at light installations in museums and exhibitions in Israel and worldwide.  Through long exposures and deliberate body movements, like a slow dance with the camera. I capture manifestations of light that escape the naked eye, and create images that are disconnected from their original context.

​

My works reveal the image creating mechanism: the flicker of light caught in the camera echoes its source, the materials that reflected it, the device in which it underwent transformation. The combination of the ray of light, the camera, and my body movement, fragments light into some of its inherent elements: texture, transparency, hues of color and shade, creating compositions of drawings, spatial objects, spaces and places, and fantastical landscapes. These nebulous abstract images no longer offer the comfort of automatic identification. The indeterminate nature of the images draws the viewer to look, linger, and imbue them with content from his inner world and imagination            a new link in the chain of creation, as a metaphor of the energy cycle in nature.

​

My practice is influenced by the Abstract Expressionism movement, the Concrete Photography and the New Vision photographers.
