Dirty Mind, 2017 
Installation

Brooms, wax, nylon strings, PVC.
Dimensions varies

Dvir Gallery, Tel Aviv 2017




Nylon threads suspend a multitude of hovering broom heads from the ceiling. Wax drippings from the top of the brooms sully the floor with a PVC sheet placed underneath the structure.

The installation resembles a flock of birds dropping while flying in the air. In Jewish culture, a broom is a metaphor for the righteous man who takes on him the sins of the congregation while purifying the world.
