AVIVA SHEMER In 2002 a man named Laibel came to my house & knocked at my door. He said that he survived the Holocaust & brought me Photos of my family who did not survive. The fact that he came to me with the photos made me start series of paintings, sculptures, and installations, in the subject of the "Memory of the Future Haifa Israel / www.avivaart.com/ avmi@actcom,co.il /+972 (0) 505594051

ELANA SCHWADRON - MINKOW A few years ago I began painting (with charcoal on paper) portraits of my husband and my family members, who were murdered during the Holocaust. Through painting, I felt that I am getting closer to them and getting to know them. I also felt that I wanted to perpetuate them, to extract them from the dark abyss into which they had been forced.

ELINOR ROTTEM The combination of a black line over a white surface is the earliest memory of me, doing art: Holding a pencil in my hand and scribbling on a sheet of paper. Now, when I am a grown up person, I realise that we are embraced by the media with blaze of colours, forms and images. The stimulations that surround us are endless. That is why I choose to remember the cleanest shapes. Haifa Israel / www.elinorotem.com / Elinor-r@bezeqint.net / +972(4)8257258
HAVA GILLON In this series I am focused on exploring the possibilities of drawing on an unusual format for that medium, Used Plywood Boards. I am also attempting to fixate the transit drawn image permanently on the everlasting Plywood background to give a new and lasting life to the otherwise thrown away material.

LIMOR GILAD ULUKAYA Time is not linear, there for, we can be living past, present and future in parallels. Our world is flexible, as is our perception. Borders of our memories do not really exist. Tivon Israel www.limor-ipec.co.il Limonero7@walla.com / +972 9533 660
NATALIE EICHENGREEN Disguised as a photography documentary project about a religious woman, I chose myself as the subject matter. I take images of myself as a completely different character. Through self-portraits as a woman, as well as changing my appearance to a Jewish orthodox one, I want to question how fine the line is between what we choose to believe in, and what is actual fact or truth; do our eyes and minds translate what we see clearly?

RUTHY SEGAL Painting for me is a genuine form of self-expression, the means of releasing loads of energy accumulated. It is the riverbed in which deposits of sights, landscapes, feelings, impressions and experiences flow and then splash onto the canvas.
