Black Beauty

In 2007, I decided to create an online website that would be a kind of business card. Not a sales website, so I was looking for ideas for the homepage. At first, my sketches were textures and sources of inspiration from nature. I photographed bamboo and my Japanese garden in black and white, and to that I added enlarged photos of my jewelry with unique textures. I didn't like the result because the different colors of the 22-karat and 18-karat gold didn't go together. I accepted the recommendation of my creative friend Limor Galili to wander the website of photographer Avshalom Levy. In his photo bank, I saw a collection of nude photos of the Ethiopian model 'Mimi' and I was captivated by their charm. I had already imagined what kind of jewelry would be 'worn and tattooed' on the photo in Photoshop. And so it was, Avshalom photographed all the jewelry for me and together we created the following photos. Each image was for a specific collection, and so on the home page of the first site, the images alternated in a moving film. I printed some of the images on canvas and they adorn the walls of my gallery to this day.
