The Witch,the Lunatic and the healer

I would love to share with you a bit of why and when...
and this is how it start...

I studied fashion and textile design at Shenkar University in Israel, so I can actually say I have my first degree in knitting…

My final project at Shenkar raised a lot of questions that I am still dealing with over and over in my design path till now…In this project I started from single thread,created 3 clothing sets, and photographed them in their atmosphere locations...Can you recognize the model?

In early middle age days, 3 ladies are on a trial, 3 ladies are telling the same story or almost the same story, each one of them in a different place in a different time.
One of them is domed as a witch and raised to the fire
The second one is announced as a mental ill and sent to the mental institute, while the third one is announced as a holistic healer and the people follow her path.
And none of these ladies ever stop to ask why…

The healer photo was taken at the small community village where I live up north, and that is the most beautiful place in Israel, just by the Mediterranean Sea.

I think that as a final project for textile design, it is also raise the question of how do we treat textile in our heart and our lives, should a textile remain the second voice back stage, or can it raise to life, taking its place at the front of the stage?

Bright side of Life

It's been a while ago since I discover that the nice guy that live in my neighborhood, right behind my house is actually a talented photographer.
The new girl working in the kindergarten babysitting for my baby girl did seem beautiful to me right from first sight…
But nothing could really prepare me to the amazing day that we spend together at the Movie theater house in the small community village where I live...
Getting up in the morning, I packed all my jewelries, I text my photographer…"I think I have too many…"
And then just to be on the safe side…I added the box a bottle of Limoncello and Havana club Rum.
The beautiful kindergarten babysitter arrived…apparently she is 1.81 meter high, and for a small fact…she was a professional model in Italy…but she decided to leave behind the fake life and to come back to the village side…
Some days…some people you meet on the way, just make feel as luckiest as if you just found a million dollars right at your door step...
I did ask my model to play tough on the set, but I couldn't resist her beautiful smile…

With many thanks to: Hagai Nativ:Photographer,Anat Brandes: Modeling,knitwear clothing by Adva Bruner for Duende. and the sweet girl Tamar Linder who found my lost earrings on the set and returned it to my mail box…some things can only happened in community life…
