To remember the summer of 2020 is to remember that the future was uncertain. The people were divided by fear of the Corona pandemic and conflicting political directives. Still, there was hope that every man would prosper under his own vine and fig tree.

To Remember Appolonia is to remember the remnants a destroyed crusader castle on the sea cliff by Herzliya. On the archeological site is a V-shaped valley, where a bridge once connected town and citadel. The artist used the cleft between the sides to allude to the opposing social and political schisms of summer 2020. The grape vines and fig trees, symbols of peaceful co-existence, seem to frame imaginary players in a game of chess, but here can be no winners in a game with only one set of chessmen. On the left panel, the Biblical promise of peace and prosperity appears to be written in stone.

Apollonia reminded me of past, present, future promises.

My art manifests my vision of a dynamic world of multiple, simultaneous perspectives. As Dr. Dalia Hakker-Orion, curator of my exhibition in Tel Aviv wrote: "She doesn't paint according to instructions or styles, but evolves at her own pace, creating original paintings manifesting passages connecting different realities."  Each picture goes beyond the obvious, leaving hints of meaning that provide possibilities for personal interpretation. There is more to see than what can be taken in at a glance.

Encaustic (hot wax) paint is the current medium of my choice. Translucent, underlying layers impart radiance and mystery. Within these, other mediums and objects may be embedded. Encaustic layers can be scraped back to reveal substrates or carved into new structures.
