The Objects

Digital photography on wooden supports, wood sculpture, clay sculpture
What are the objects that surround us in our everyday life? What is their purpose once they are broken and abandoned? Do they become useless? When an object loses its practical function, does it turn into an aesthetic one?
What role does it play in a city or in a desert? And if these objects were removed from urban life and placed into a desert landscape, leaving only their visual presence, amplified by the atmosphere of the desert — would they remain invisible and lose their appeal, or would they gain a new interpretation?
I removed fragments of urban life and placed them in a wild, desert environment, where they are not supposed to exist. Are they meant to belong to the city? How is an architectural and cultural identity formed? Does it construct itself on its own?
While living in Israel for five months, I became interested in urban design and the abandoned objects found in the streets, which have become part of a broader cultural landscape of the Middle East. In a context of globalisation affecting all parts of the world, we can find the same objects everywhere — identical designs, identical forms.
