female : male | group exhibition | sep 2012

For millions of years, females and males have been swimming in the water, the source of life.

Diving towards the unknown, hoping to find their perfect mate.
Randomly meeting each other and  creating the next generations of females and males.

The deep seas, the pearl divers' world, where humans and plankton swim together.

There, man crosses through millions of years of evolution, searching for the perfect pearl.  

He goes back through evolution to the ancestral primary phase, to the fear that follows the search, to not knowing if she can ever be found.

Will he face a feminine ancestral power and disappear into the depth of sea? Will he run out of air?

These works took part in "female:male" group exhibition, on september 2012, at Nira'le gallery at Beth Lehem of the Galleellee, Israel.

December 2013: "pearl diver" and "swimmers" are presented at "The art house in Carcur" as part of the exhibition "Game of life".
