In my current work I explore different cultural issues of aesthetics as they appear in personal and public environments. I use straight photography to document everyday sceneries that I find reflecting more than their facial appearance.
In my studio work, I construct still-life sets in attempt to emphasize un-noticed cultural symbols. I am aiming to research the edges of beauty employing variety of photographic techniques and approaches based on the history of art.
I also work with my husband Yossi Galanti on joined photographic projects researching the local landscape by experimenting the medium’s syntax.
