My work is influenced by my personal feelings about the injustice in reality in general and, especially, in recent times. Feelings of fear and anger accompany me. I embodied these feelings in the creation of iron jewelry and objects. Iron is considered in many cultures a material of great value and various uses. Spiritually it is considered on the one hand as a protective material, and on the other hand, it is used as a weapon and in the confinement of animals, people, etc. I created the objects in silversmith techniques that do not match the work with iron. I wanted to illustrate how I dominate the iron as the human consciousness is dominated and accepts the decrees without questioning, ignoring the injustice and suffering that is caused. Materials: Iron. techniques: Blacksmiths and iron forging Mentor: Prof. Vered Kaminski Theoretical Advising: Dr. Tal Frenkel Alroy
