ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work embodies the Buddhist concept of life as an ever-changing cycle, constantly in flux. Drawing from the Heart Sutra’s profound teaching that “form is emptiness, emptiness is form,” it challenges the viewer to transcend conventional, dualistic views of life and death. In doing so, it invites contemplation of deeper existential questions: When does life truly begin? Does it start before we take physical form, even before we become a fetus? And when we are liberated from our bodies, is that the true end, or just another transition in the cycle? These timeless questions resonate throughout the work, encouraging reflection on the impermanence of existence and the interconnectedness of all things. By exploring the fluid boundary between form and formlessness, the piece seeks to liberate the mind from rigid distinctions, offering a space to ponder the nature of life, death, and what lies beyond.

I was born in Tokyo 1963. living in israel since 1992. Listening to my inspiration rises and new creation appears, becoming alive. Metal can be transformed in endless ways. It is brought from the depth of the earth and is formed by fire, air and water. The process of its creation contains all the elements of life. I discovered joy and freedom in Metal art since my studies at Art high school and Tamagawa University in Tokyo, Japan. Through creativity I could find myself. I appreciate that after 30 years of working in metal still excited to experiment with metal endless possibilities: forging, design, kinetic sculptures, environmental art, figurative and abstract forms etc. A new dimension of metal that I explore recently is sound.creating musical instruments and performing since 2001. my vision is to unite all art media- Form, material, rhythm and movement in my creation and I would like to share it with you!
