自述：

我的作品主要是用织物的媒介来表达我的艺术冲动和想法。艺术对我来说是一种情感的、辩证的、诗意的与精神、个人、社会领域沟通的方式。艺术世界为我打开了探索无限表达自由的大门。我的作品包括混合媒体素材。我不仅缝纫、绣花、织物和造型，而且创建拼贴画从废弃的服装，纸板，纸，塑料，回收媒体。

在我作品中使用的织物和纺织品，来自我独特的儿童记忆深处的呼唤，那时候我所在的地方叫基布兹，我与我的母亲曾经是基布兹的保管员，负责对基布兹社区分发衣服的特殊关系的群体生活。就在那一刻，我发现了各种各样的肌理和无尽的色彩，并对记忆创造和创造材料的概念着迷。从那时起，织物就成了将我的创造性旅程与记忆联系起来的主要媒介。

我的作品可以看作是对我周围环境的一种回应，作为驾驭它的层次和复杂性的驱动力。更重要的是，这些作品讲述了我无法用语言形式表达的个人和集体故事。我出生于以色列，后来到美国开始新的生活，再后来移居到墨西哥，现在我在以色列埋葬了我的父母后定居在保加利亚。常量（再）定位和（再）沉降极大地影响了我作品中的记忆主题。通过艺术交流对我自己的存在和对生活的反思是非常重要的。

我相信与各种类型的织物和混合媒体一起工作，是一种再现和再现记忆的方式。通过创造人工材料，以及对未知的不断追求，我思考并检验个人和集体的情感，作为揭示人类复杂性和不确定性的关键。

Artist Statement：

My works predominantly use the media of fabrics to express my artistic urges and ideas. Art for me is an emotional, dialectic, and poetic way of communicating with the spiritual, individual, the social realms. The art world opens the door for me to explore unlimited freedom of expression. My works consist of mixed media materials. I not only sew, embroider, and sculpt fabrics, but also create painted collages from discarded garments, cardboards, papers, plastic, and recycled media. My deep calling of using fabrics and textiles in my works comes from my unique early childhood of living with the Communal of Kibbutz and my special relationship with my mother who once a Kibbutz storekeeper was being responsible for distributing clothes to the Kibbutz community. It was the very moment when I discovered the diverse textures and endless colors of fabrics and became fascinated by the notion that memory is created by and creates materials. Since then, fabrics have become the primary medium to connect my creativity voyage with memory.

My works can be seen as a response to my immediate surroundings, as a drive to navigate its layers and complexities. More important, those works tell personal and collective stories which I cannot easily express through linguistic forms. I was born during the establishment of Israel state, and then moved to United States with my husband and children to start a new life, and much later migrated to Mexico after the collapse of my family life, and currently I have settled in Bulgaria after I buried my parents in Israel. The constant (re)locating and (re)settling has strongly affected the subject of memory in my works. Communication through art is very vital to my very own existence and reflection on life.

I believe that working with various types of fabrics and mixed media is a way of (re)producing and (re)presenting memory. Through the creation of manmade materials, and a continuous quest for the unknown, I contemplate and examine the individual and collective emotions as the key to unfold the complexity and uncertainty of humanity.
