I am an interdisciplinary Jewish artist, born in Jerusalem and currently practising in Naarm (Melbourne) on unceded Boonwurrung land. My work is driven by research and inquiry, engaging with themes of marginalisation, intersectionality, culture, and identity. Drawing on a complex and often misunderstood lineage, I use art as a critical language to examine contemporary and traditional Jewish life and to respond to broader social and political realities, including antisemitism. My practice integrates storytelling, documentation, and self-reflection, seeking connection through shared human experiences and community engagement.

(heb. to show honour and gratitude)
As an uninvited guest, I would like to acknowledge the custodians of this land on which I live and practise on. I honour the land, waters and spirit and show my gratitude to the Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation, who have nurtured and lived here for 80,000 years and more to come.
I acknowledge the immeasurable violence and loss at the hands of colonisation. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
