Ephraim Installation

As long as I can remember myself, I loved the beauty, and simplicity of nature. The process of my creative endeavors focuses on my attempt to tell a story through the use of stones and rocks, as I try to create a dialog without words. I chose this artistic form of expression because it allows me to communicate both my love of nature and my need to be different and separate from the horde. I try to look at the stones before me and, in them, find whole new worlds and meanings. Countless hours spent looking through a kaleidoscope throughout my childhood captivated me and inspired the imagination that guides me today. My creations are ignited each time anew by confronting the stone itself. The inspirations for my creations come from life, observing the world around me, family moments, meetings strangers, stories, and traditions. By combining stones and glass I create a delicate balance between the intensity and presence of the stones and the clearness and tenderness of the glass. In my creations there is a mixture of metal wires, wood peel, branches and glass fragments being collected from the sea shore.
