This exhibition explores the fragile terrain of memory, fragmented, blurred, sometimes unreachable, and seeks to give it visual form. The works draw from my childhood in France, from the textures of the domestic space I grew up in, and from the emotional residue that lingers in remembered places. They shift between interior and exterior, belonging and estrangement.
My process begins with drifting between recalled images and imaged ones. What emerges are abstract, amorphous forms, echoes of memory that resist direct representation. I work with oil paint and pastels on unstretched fabrics of varying scales, building and erasing layers of color using cloths and textiles. This layering creates a visual language of opposites: seen and hidden, fixed and fluid.
As the series evolved, I began to reflect on the idea of ‘’home’’, and especially on the wall, not as a boundary, but as a surface that absorbs emotion. An emotional wall. I asked myself how such a wall might look and feel, one that holds memory, gesture, and physical presence. This led to painterly and sculptural decisions: works that extend around corners and edges of the wall.
Though this, I aim to reimagine the act of display itself- to create an open, dynamic, breathing space that carries both fracture and cohesion, home and wandering.

The works in Espace Maison are rooted in memories of the home I grew up in in France—the light through the windows, the feel of the walls, the atmosphere of daily life. Since immigrating to Israel, that house has lived inside me in shifting forms: sometimes vivid, sometimes distant, always emotional. My work attempts to give shape to these memories, even when they remain ambiguous.
I use processes of layering and erasure, dragging and blurring paint with cloths and tools. These gestures mirror how memory behaves, appearing, fading, transforming. Through this, abstract spaces emerge: quiet, restless, charged with personal meaning, like dreams returning in fragments.
Gradually, my connection to the physical idea of “home” deepened—both the remembered space and the one in which I now create. This led me to explore home not only as subject matter but as structure. I began creating metal frameworks that allow for new modes of display, works suspended or leaning, breaking away from the traditional framed rectangle. These structures introduce mobility and openness, allowing the pieces to exist in a state of flux, much like memory itself.

Between Homes emerged from a renewed question: what does home mean when its foundations feel unstable? In the context of war, the safety of personal space was shaken. At the same time, I felt a growing ache for the home I left behind, the house in France where I was born.
These works emerged from that dual tension. I tried to reconstruct that space, not through literal depiction, but as a series of emotional and sensory impressions. Memory, photography, and imagination all played a role. Color became central, a means to recall the hues of my first home, both inside and out.
As the series progressed, the color palette began to shift. Gradually, local tones, the colors of my current landscape, entered the work. This blending of palettes, of past and present, became a process of investigation in itself. The works began to live in an in-between space, where the question of “home” remains unresolved, fluid, and open.

This series began with a simple observation: the way plants reflect in light, through glass, across tiled floors, in pools of shadow. I became interested in how these reflections form new, shifting spaces, where the boundary between inside and outside becomes porous.
I used three etched plates as a starting point and began to layer, repeat, and obscure them, printing them in various combinations, side by side or on top of one another. These gestures introduced a new visual vocabulary: opacity and transparency, repetition and interruption.
The resulting prints are like half-open windows, images that flicker between clarity and concealment. Leaves, lines, and reflections become tools for exploring dualities: stillness and movement, control and chance. What began as quiet studies of nature evolved into a meditation on perception, memory, and transformation.
