Photomanipulation nominee

I photographed a dancer in the Israeli desert (near the city of "Arad") as part of my trip there this past summer. I was thinking about humans relationship with their habitat, how we reflect ourselves onto our environment. We turn our surrounding into what’s inside of us. The state of our countries and climate is in direct correlation with our inner state and with the relationships we have with each other.

I create digital composites that embody two traits I have: I’m a pragmatist and a dreamer. I’m fascinated by forces of nature and the human body. I have an urge to understand how life and nature works; that same urge pushed me to complete a M.Sc degree in Chemistry. I’m moved by observing natural phenomena and human interactions. I tend to create imagery with a “darker feel” to shed light on mysteries that are unknown to us; the connection of human emotion to natural process. I also tend to play with elements of sexuality and perceived taboos.
