As a young woman who grew up and was educated in a patriotic, religious, Israeli home, my personal world of values means a great deal in my adult life. Although my choices sometimes lead me on other paths, I always feel that deep connection to my roots and to the place I came from. In my project, I'm trying to expose my everlasting journey of self-searching and the attempt to bring together all the different edges of my background story in my own independent way.
The patterns in this project were made from draping, followed by construction work that was carefully thought out; and they deal with freedom against conservatism, while playing different shapes of looseness and tightness, carvings and stripes.
