My work delves into profound and challenging subjects, including race, displacement, and the myths around immigrants that are deeply embedded in our societal fabric. As a Jewish person living as an immigrant in the diaspora, I am intimately familiar with themes like the whitewashing of Black American history and the erasure of Native American voices. My art critically examines the enduring legacies of colonialism and its lasting effects on culture. While some societies survived colonization and others disappeared, the impact of these incursions reverberates across generations. Colonizers, whether they occupied spaces briefly or for centuries, eventually left the lands they seized, yet Jews faced the compounded harm of displacement from their ancestral homeland in addition to the destructive consequences of colonization.

As an artist, I aim to challenge entrenched norms and disrupt the absurdities we’ve collectively come to accept. My pieces provoke thought, spark dialogue, and encourage engagement with uncomfortable truths. I believe that by confronting difficult conversations, we edge closer to meaningful change. In this role, I see myself as both a historian and a witness—documenting the times I live in and reflecting the injustices that permeate our world.

I am currently developing a new visual language that embodies the essence of my people and culture, rooted in my lived experience as a Jewish person and free from the stereotypes and false narratives imposed upon us. My work seeks to challenge the distortions that have historically marginalized and vilified Jews—accusing us of the very injustices we have endured. This approach enables me to create art that is both deeply personal and authentically reflective of our history and resilience.

One of my series addresses the alarming rise of antisemitism and anti-Zionism in the aftermath of the October 7th massacre. The unsettling dissonance lies in how perpetrators assumed the role of victimhood while forcing the actual victims to justify their right to survive. Symbols like the keffiyeh, once a marker of political struggle, have been weaponized to mask acts of violence and injustice, further exacerbating the hostility directed at Jews. For Israelis like myself, this escalating animosity feels dangerously close to invoking even darker symbols of oppression, demanding an urgent reckoning with these false narratives.

Through this series, I challenge these distortions and urge critical inquiry. My art serves as both a call to action and an invitation to engage with the complex truths of Jewish history and identity. By encouraging viewers to confront uncomfortable realities, I strive to foster understanding, empathy, and a collective reevaluation of the forces that shape our perceptions of justice and injustice.
