ABOUT

Adi is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Israel. 

 

Adi works through multi-medium research and transformations, kneading physical and emotional materials in her search for identity and rootedness.
Her practice examines the legacies she carries—both physical and emotional—investigating how they shape personal and collective continuity.

In my work, I explore the search for security via an ongoing dialogue with the perpetual absence in my life. By conducting ongoing material and medium research, I navigate between deconstruction and construction, emphasizing the tension within and questioning the connection between identity and continuity.
I attempt to shape internal uncertainties into new experiences, which materialize into art that leaves loose ends. I unravel these loose ends repeatedly, either for the purpose of new discovery or as a means to hold onto something further.

As a representation of reality, photography and the photographic image serves as a starting point for digital and plastic interventions that initiate a process of transformation and abstraction. From these transformations, I dismantle boundaries of form and context, reexamining personal and collective narratives of body, home, and identity while seeking anchors that facilitate continuity. I use diverse work techniques and mediums – yet reorganizing narratives remains my guiding principle.

For me, multi-medium research is a deep psychological exploration applied to both material and body. I choose materials intuitively, using them to deconstruct and rebuild the theme from within and driving me to master different techniques and media. The search itself is essential to me—perhaps even the essence of my work.
