The project was made by a collaboration with the start-up company, “Silk It”, founded by graduates of the Weizmann Institute, which is engaged in the innovative development of biochemical materials in the field of silk.

In the project, I focus on  on two cutting-edge  biochemical materials that the company produces in the laboratory: Silk Film and Silk Aerogel

Print on Silk Film

In the works on Silk Film - the material is highly transparent, and changes shape as soon as it comes into contact with water or air. When exposed to  air, the silk material hardens and brittles, resembling  plastic. When exposed to water again, it returns to its supple and delicate state, resembling a membrane that  can easily be torn.

On  the material, there is a print of a single  scene (unlike the Silk Airgel prints, which feature  two different scenes). Due to the transparency of the material, however, in Silk Film the scenes are visible from both sides, with one side appearing more blurred and the other clear, revealing more details. 

In these works there is  reference to  point of view and different perspectives, and how they both affect our perception of ourselves in different situations in our lives.
