The Things We Won't Say
Those things we won't say are written within us, and we push them down, sometimes violently, hoping that by doing that, they will go away or won't surface for a while. But they are not going anyway, not really.
The series of Graphite drawings called "The Things We Won't Say" comes to give expression to those crumpled unspoken words.
The Price of Recovery
We all swim in the same pool, yet see the water through our own eyes, feeling with our own hearts and processing with our own minds. We never know when the moment to face another aspect of ourselves will come along. And when it comes, we can't predict whether we will keep on living in denial or choose to face it.
Choosing to see and deal with the feared and unwanted was a very uncomfortable experience for me, to put it gently. It was also very hard to create for a while.
I stayed with every image for a long time, probably the time it took me to process each step of the way.
The page for this collection of drawings is still in the making.

Be A Doll Exhibition
At the end of 2020, the photographer Hadar Dolan and I teamed up and created an online exhibition.
The photos for the exhibition were taken around the time I started drawing the doll figures and communicating with the subject.
The pictures and drawings were curated together to bring a powerful message to the forefront, calling for a closer look at our thoughts, choices, and true voices.
