Metamorphose

Tribe Art Gallery, Tel Aviv

September 2020

 

When I was a little girl, I had such an intense nightmare that even after waking up in a panic, it took me time to understand where the dream's reality ended and the actual reality began. Even now, I remember all the sensations I had – in my body and soul – and the fear of changing when that change is forced upon you, like a dark magic that turns a person into a hybrid creature.

This exhibition explores the unsettling realm of transformations and the primal fear of madness. It delves into the terrifying moment when the familiar dissolves, and the question arises: is this nightmare the new reality? The works grapple with the primal fear of losing my identity, of irreversible change, of becoming a hybrid creature trapped between worlds. Through "Metamorphose," I confront the enduring anxieties born from those childhood sensations, examining the fluidity of form and the fragility of perception.
