CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
Jean-Jacques Rousseau found that personal intimacy is not isolated from connecting to the outside world , which is becoming increasingly homogenous . For Rousseau , philosophy was a way of life and an exercise in the art of life . He concluded that the artist , who is alone in his or her studio , creates a work as an individual . However , the moment the artist unveils a work to viewers , a relationship is created with the work ’ s surroundings and the work becomes part of society .
Another installation of mine displayed at the Israel Museum addresses the subject of birthdays and incorporates 88 mm film that my father shot during birthdays and a series of works on glass , including Birthday Bouquets .
Forward emphasizes mindfulness towards nature . For this work , I researched biophilia , the psychological concept that nature is an integral part of our lives and humans cannot survive without it . Just think of our connection to animals , to all that grows , to water and so much more ... Today the environment we live in is more digital than ever before , but nature still can be found in it . That said , sometimes what we find is a replacement for nature such as when cities attempt to introduce nature into urban environments . I address this in Double Landscape , which was displayed earlier this year as part of a group exhibition at the Rothschild Fine Art Gallery in Tel Aviv . The Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv also displayed a work of mine that explores this topic : an installation that is a combination of nature and human nature .
