Mikveh
The water becomes a tiny, round, clear, and deep mikveh, containing within it the heavens of light and shadow. A central drop, large and deep, opens a window to the heart of matter, transparent and illuminated like an inner spring. Around it, rows of drops are gathered, transparent and precise, as if they are guarding the threshold and waiting for immersion, renewal, and the transition from the outside to the inside. The monochromatic shades that range from deep black to pitch white cleanse the gaze of all distraction and invite inward contemplation. The gaze plunges through the water into the depth of the texture, into that quiet moment when water meets matter, and life receives its waters anew in simplicity, purity, almost genesis. And within this tiny mikveh, a silhouette appears, immersed. It is not just a figure in the water. It becomes a sign of an inner movement of the soul - an entry into silence, a stay within the source, and an immersion that seeks to shed the old and emerge renewed. Crown of Kingdom: - The drops surrounding the center become like gemstones, and the entire circle is like a crown placed on the head of a simple and natural thing. Kingdom is not revealed here by force, but through the convergence, purity, and ability of the center to become a vessel of light. "I have placed it upon the head of my praise." This is a crown that is not made of gold, but of water, light, and matter. A crown born from the encounter between the envelope and the center, between what is seen and what is revealed within it. The drop becomes a pearl, the circle becomes a crown, and the water becomes a place where one can be baptized and reborn. The blessing contained in the image - may every soul find a pool of peace, may a place for baptism and renewal be opened, may purity rise from the depths to the surface of life, and may every inner center be crowned - until the simplest thing reveals within itself Kingdom.

Michal Inbar
Michal Inbar (married with 4 children) creates life through nature. Based in Gita, a communal settlement in the Western Galilee right on the edge of a wild nature reserve, Michalโs childhood was shaped by her Yemeni grandfather. He gifted her a deep inner peace and the ability to observe and converse with creation. In her youth, she danced, capturing life through her eyes out of living, breathing movement. About six years ago, she decided to uncover the secrets of nature and elevate them through art. The combination of time and place seen through Michalโs lens conveys a sense of connection to a space and time that live within the observer. These days, Michal is establishing "Beit Bracha" (House of Blessing)โa creative sanctuary that explores the hidden and the secret within the revealed, allowing viewers to open whatever window reveals itself to them at that moment. Revealing the Hidden: A Look Within My art is born out of a desire and a calling to discover beauty and an anchor within a chaotic, challenging, and turbulent daily reality. In a space where the soul searches for meaning, the camera serves as my tool for inner journeys of listening and discoveryโmoments where a vision emerges, reminding us of another quiet, internal world that exists right here within our own. I invite the observer on a journey of shifting consciousness through two main movements. The first is macro photography, penetrating deep into the heart of thingsโinto tiny textures and secrets that often escape the human eye. The second is a wider, more open view of the landscape and space. At times, my eye is drawn to objects whose initial identity is not immediately clear. By doing so, they invite the viewer to peel back layers of habit, look anew, and discover a fresh wonder within the familiar. Each photograph is presented in two parallel formats: one stands alone as a clean image, and the other is accompanied by textโa verse from spiritual and sacred writings, or from internal poetry that rises from the depth of things. This combination is not meant to explain the image, but rather to create a space for resonance. The image and the word are interwoven to provoke thought, open the heart, and allow the observer to step insideโbeyond what is visible to the eye, but revealed to the subtle heart.
