"Since childhood I was fascinated by bold colors, the light that would pass through them and symmetric geometry. At the age of six, I was already painting mandalas on glass and various symmetric forms all in bold and vibrant colors. I was also mesmerized by the sea. I loved diving into the depth of the Red Sea, swimming through the coral reefs and watching exotic fish swim by. It was the same passion. These were some of the most beautiful scenes I had ever witnessed.
Growing up, I became a photographer in the IDF Spokesman’s Unit, after three years in the army I started to study architecture. During my studies I learned in depth how to use
mirrors , reflections and light in design. A short time after, on my first attempt to create a kaleidoscope I realized that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. This was the starting point of my career, and my mission became to make sure that others would be able to share and experience this beauty. I made every effort to create affordable kaleidoscopes, accessible to everyone, and these I sell at an Arts and Crafts market in Tel Aviv. I also sought to experiment and let my imagination run wild and have made large, special kaleidoscopes that were exhibited in museums.
In 2016 I took part in a special celebratory kaleidoscope convention honoring 200 years to the invention of the kaleidoscope, organized by the Brewster Society. The kaleidoscope that I made especially for the exhibition won the first prize for the People’s Choice Award."
