How important is your home to you?

My home is everything for me. Especially as a foreigner in a different country, I needed to mould myself into these walls to create a strong feeling of home. Tel Aviv has got so much fragrance and character, I asked myself: ‘how can I bring this here when I’m without my family, food and culture?’ So, I decided to create my own oasis. That’s why this flat is full of giant and weird stuff. The furniture became family, each piece has a name.

How do you decorate your home?

It looks different every day. As I work with art and create many objects, there is something new inside my “furniture family“ regularly – every piece creates another. One day, it may look very messy – like a bizarre candy land or surreal adult amusement park. On other days, it looks more grown up and settled. I keep saying that innovation is my comfort zone, and that is highly exhausting. I studied industrial design, which includes product design, furniture design, art and conceptual design. I’m multidisciplinary – I touch a lot of departments, and I’m constantly innovating.

How do visitors react to your interior style?

When people enter my home, I want them to encounter a feeling of love. Most of them are excited because it’s a very surreal and uncommon space to live in. Even if people are reserved at first, something is crackling when they step inside – there is laughter and it feels more comfortable after they see the interior. It’s different, but lovable.

How do you work in these surroundings?

I’m a creative person, I need my playground. All the stuff in here, the colours and shapes stimulate me constantly so I can pour my imagination into new objects. I embrace my ADHD and my mind is a whirlwind of perpetual motion, always brimming with ideas and thoughts. This constant flow of inspiration is reflected in my work, showcasing a distinctive duality of thinking that fosters uniqueness. While the journey can be demanding at times, I’ve learned to appreciate the challenge, channeling it into establishing effective routines that empower rather than hinder my creative process. But now and then I need to isolate myself, that’s when I go into my ‘thinking room’. It’s a place to concentrate and locate next to the bedroom and living room. Since my sister Agam moved in, it also functions as her bedroom.

How do you feel about your home during uncertain times?

Up until a few months ago, I used to walk upright but today I try to camouflage myself into the surroundings. Thankfully, the people around me are highly positive and friendly. Nevertheless, many friends advised me to go back home. But for me, there is no more secure place right now than to be here. Also, Tel Aviv is more about the high-tech industry than art – it’s an inner conflict for me about how to exist as a person.
