title
White Square Emotions
Constructed of white stone and featuring hursh geometries this impressive site conveys strong schematic feelings.
I wanted to expose a softer, more human emotional side of this location. With the help of dancers from a leading Israeli dance group and the use of super wide and fisheye lenses I've set to create a world of emotions one does not usually find in the White Square.
Our urban surrounding fascinates me and draws my attention endlessly.
The ever-growing city is mixing proud shiny towers with worn aged buildings.
In this blend of shapes and textures we live, work and interact.
The city affects us and we affect it in an on-going circle of symbiosis.
My work reflects my visions and envisions of our urban surroundings- glamour and sad, shiny and rusty.
I am fascinated by the textures and rhythms hidden in the buildings people build. The same people who live in the city surrounded by their urban creations.
Photography has been my passion for many years- a way to express myself and interact with my world.
I started my journey with street photography focusing on the people of the city, the way they interact with each other, the way they interact with the city. Step by step I've learned to notice more and more of the symbiotic connection that the people have with their urban environment- its density, colors, lines, geometries and lights.
