The Heart Within
A natural-toned fabric is stretched over a rigid wooden backing, with the artwork built above it layer by layer. Long straw lines run across the piece and extend beyond its edges, topped by another wooden layer covered in illustrated fabric. At the center, a small and unexpected detail is hidden: a natural cactus core coated in silver, suspended between the layers like a tiny treasure found in nature and given a new life. The combination of soft fabric, wood, the yellow rhythm of the straw lines, and the natural element creates a play of depth, textures, and lines that changes as you come closer. Every detail is carefully chosen and placed by hand, making each piece truly one of a kind.

My inspiration comes from the nature that surrounds me, especially in winter, when the grass is fresh, the lichens turn yellow, and the forest is full of life. I create each piece by hand, combining illustrated fabrics, characters, and small natural treasures I collect in the forests of the Golan Heights. Each piece begins with a small element from nature and a connection between different materials. Slowly, a story begins to emerge. Every artwork comes with a postcard. On one side is a story written especially for the piece, and on the other, a space for a personal message to the child. Because each piece grows from an inspiration that might begin with a branch, a color, or a shape, every artwork is one of a kind. No two are ever the same.
