An Israeli artist working in Tel Aviv, a curator based in London and an interior designer from Tokyo – these combined resulting in my sending a series of ceramic pieces I designed to Hong Kong for the Ritz Carlton hotel a few weeks ago.

I believe that if I would ask people who are familiar with my work what characterizes it, I would get three different answers – an extensive use of gold, strong colorfulness and the series of works composed of ceramic arms, or spikes, interwoven in a variety of manners. Gold – I won't deny it, I...

A few months ago I was interviewed for an Israeli life style channel. The interview focused on how it is to work and create in Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv.

Every now and then, people come to my shop and ask me what I do with the broken or defected dishes.
