Into the Unkown
Horizon
Mini Israel

Open spaces and pristine nature are rare to find in Israel. It is an overpopulated country characterized by a complex demographic puzzle. Its sub-populations differ in their religious, cultural habits, ethnic origin, identity and... appearance. This diversity is somewhat presented in the photo. I love this photo as it reminds me that I'm not alone in my need to “visually breath”. The photo also represents what nature does the best when it's left untouched: it bonds people together, and heals them regardless their background.

The Powerful Energy of Originality - A Story About Green & Brown

Solitary

Young Israel "wanted" to be green. It didn't accept the brown as the default dominant color of the land.

Early European Jewish immigrants who left their countries of origin wanted to copy & paste the forest and meadows to their new home. Read the full blog.

The Perspective Principle - Desert as a Mind Perspective Builder
The Perspective Principle - Desert As A Mind Perspective Builder 
The artist in me constantly seeks to gain fresh perspectives. I refresh my point of view by playing with the two elements that comprise what I call the Perspective Principle: time and place. The principle feeds and nourishes my work and life. I perceive this principle as a mind muscle which requires an ongoing workout.
 
The following galleries enfold stories which revolve around this workout.

The Perspective Principle - Reflection Through Isolation
Every now and then I put my life on hold and go to nature to reflect for a couple of days. Sometimes I go to the mountains, but mostly I go to the desert. Read the full blog.

The Perspective Principle - Time Travel: Ancient Times 
​Israel is scattered with ruins of ancient times. Romans, Turks, Arabs, Nabateans, you name it. Once in a while we go camping with the kids in national parks located near ancient cities. ​In these journeys I let my imagination take over and time travel. Being a guest in 2000 years old sites sparks my imagination and develops my creativity. Here is a personal story seasoned with an inspiring story and facts about creativity from ancient times:
A few weeks ago we camped in Mamshit, an ancient Nabatean city from Roman and Byzantine times. I didn't sleep well that night and woke up grumpy. I had my coffee and looked at the kids who seemed bored. Read the full blog.
The Perspective Principle - Reflection Through Life Of Others
​A story about sharing silence with a stranger in a cave located in the heart of a desert.
​It all started in one paragraph from National Geographic Magazine. It was about a 3 day unique yoga workshop in the desert. The article rang true, so I decided to call the number in the add. Read the full story.
Desert Festivals
​I love going to festivals in the Israeli desert. The sensual synthesis of smiley dusty people, great music, beer and weed makes me happy. It maintains my eternal teenager's state of mind.
In some of them I'm over-aged (indie), in others I'm under-aged (covers of Grateful Dead), and sometimes they are just right (90's Rock bands and performers).
In these festivals I tap into hidden layers of my personality, that become alive like dormant desert seeds that are waiting patiently for the flood to come and set them free.
There are nearly dozen types of festivals in the Israeli outback: from lyrics, through dance, to art and rock.
Here are couple of samples. Enjoy.
