Nettle, 2022Craft paper, acrylic, 100 x 70 cm. In this project, I combined the vegetation of Israel with the flora of northern nature, which is more familiar to me. I am excited and fascinated by the local vegetation, but at the same time I am a little afraid of these plants, they are bright and beautiful, but very alien. I suspect each flower, is it not poisonous but is it possible to pick it up and bring home? Reflecting on the theme of the house, I realized that my nostalgia for the usual way of life extends to nature almost as much as to friends. I grew up in an atmosphere where it was customary to go trekking through the forests, and kayaking along the rivers. These moments of leaving the city for the forest are also part of me. I miss the smell of a pine forest, moss, blueberries, and ferns.
