is a portrait of a city being built. A new, pre planned city, rapidly built in Israel during the last years, aiming to populate 100,000 people. These houses are affordable so people of different economic statuses purchase them in attempt to create a new and urban quality of life for themselves. While in fact the construction is cheap, crowded and fast which results tall, high level, boxes-like concrete buildings. In Israel, for many years and for many families there is the perception and the dream for a "contractor apartment", buying a new apartment is considered an achievement one aspires to. These kind of apartments and buildings are usually of low quality and the final product is a replicated building without a character. The photographic process is kind of a mapping of the city emphasising the exposed, generic construction that creates a concrete city afar from nature.
My photography is about personal space, living space and surroundings of mine and those around me. I deal with architecture, interiors, the way people choose to live both in my professional and personal work.
Observation, contemplation, as well as dealing with natural light are an integral part of my work.
The photographic action that I use derives from traditional, direct photography, using a tripod that requires a long observation of a place and attention to details and presence.
The combination of the subject and the work method have led my work to earn depth of color, shape and light, profoundly relates to values i want to express such as simplicity, delicacy and cleanness inside the image.
I pay attention to the movement of the sun and the flow of the wind.
