Solo Exhibitions' Subject "Measure of Closeness"- A closer look at the nature of things

To this day my injury during military service in Gaza influences the way I perceives and captures objects with my camera. My resulting impairment -- tubular vision -- has given birth to a wealth of close-up photos of surroundings familiar to us all.
My exhibitions present us with photos that capture and eternalize momentary glimpses of outdoor Urban Nature. In each picture we get to see a detail or a special photographic angle which drew my attention.
Like me, also you the viewers experience through these pictures a new and different view of Nature and the urban nature, one which is not self-evident. These close-up photos resemble a kind of penetration into the privacy of these objects, yielding diverse interpretations, sometimes even far from the original. This is strengthened by the fact that the photos have not undergone any kind of computer photo editing. Besides the sharp colors and the small details that are so prominent in my photos, I also manage to preserve moments of human experience: growth, passion, humor, withering and sorrow, moments which remind us of the greatness of closeness.
Through my exhibitions, I want to remind us...
