Soma by Ayala Serfary, her first solo light installation held at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art
Open until 14th February
The installation is made up of thousands of glass filaments encased in a polymer membrane-like web floating atop a sunken surface covered in tiny glass beads. The manual work process is akin to a transformation of a calligraphic drawing into a three dimensional form, and was executed in collaboration with glass artists Eytan Hall and Anna Gautier.
"That which is beautiful is not ephemeral, it incessantly keeps recurring" (Meira Yagid Haimovici, Curator in of Design and Architecture, the Tel-Aviv Museum of Art).
Soma light sculptures display a universal dimension; they are representations of the essence of nature in its most abstract form, standing for frozen memories existing beyond time and space.
