My journey into glass began between my second and third year of studies, during a hotshop sculpting class at Bezalel. That class shifted something in me it sparked a curiosity that pulled me away from painting and deeper into the hot-shop, where glass felt raw, responsive, and alive.

What fascinates me most about working with glass is its duality its softness when molten, its sharpness when set. I’m drawn to the material’s vulnerability in the heat, and the way it can be shaped, pulled, stretched, and transformed into precise forms. I especially connect to structured shapes that come to life through the immediacy and tension of hotshop sculpting.

Color is another essential part of my process. I love mixing my own palettes, crafting warm, magical combinations that enhance the emotion in my work. Each color choice is intuitive but intentional, meant to deepen the viewer’s connection to the piece.

I also integrate techniques beyond the hot-shop, flame-working, mold-making, and stained glass (vitrage) constantly experimenting with new ways to challenge the material and expand my visual language. My practice is rooted in contrast: structure versus spontaneity, precision versus play, beauty versus discomfort.

Ultimately, I see glass as a language in motion, one that allows me to translate sensation, curiosity, and contradiction into form.
