“The tribal fire formed a center for social cohesion, sitting around the fire in ancient times cemented relationships within the tribe and strengthened tribal identity.
Tribal experience is vivid within our sub-conscience and tradition, it awakens a longing for the “supportive collective”.

The project is comprised of classic broomstick heads made of twigs and branches, put together in the shape of a nest-like circle. Upon it lay delicate thin porcelain eggs. The eggs are lit up from within. Benches are placed, to invite spectators to sit together around the “fire”. The project brings different people together around a common, primal memory, bringing joy and excitement to the spectators.

The thin eggs are made of porcelain, a strong yet seemingly breakable material, which spreads the light with its magnificent white glow. Each egg has hand-made engravings on it, each and every one a unique work of art. Although their general shape and size are identical, the different engravings spread the beams of light differently, thus demonstrating each egg’s uniqueness. The project relates the beauty of diversity, the fact that we each come with our own baggage, yet we can still come together in a feeling of togetherness, like the different eggs in their nest an allegory to our community.

This project was exhibited in Tel Aviv Biennale of Craft and Design 2020, Tel Aviv.
