The meaning of the sentence “bring the light”
is to work for unity, to reach out to one another, to look for the strength in you and use it to help others as well.
only with the help of light we can banish darkness.
Rudy, thank you for letting get into your life journey it was fascinating.
there is no doubt that you are a special and inspiring person. We hope that the menorah we created will fulfill its role, inspire us and light the way to בית המקדש 🕎🇮🇱 taken in Israel by @ubabmad

Maybe you carry things nobody can see. Challenges, memories, dreams, fears, people you lost, people you love.

And sometimes, you don’t really know where the road is taking you. You just keep moving, learning, falling, growing.

This piece is about that journey.

Your journey.

I’ve always wondered why a painting has to stay flat, simple, and predictable ?

Why can’t it have the same presence as a piece of jewelry?

So I started treating my paintings differently.

More layers, more materials, more precision, more risk.

And the bigger the piece, the further I want to go into the details.

I love grand pieces, the kind you can’t fully understand in just a few seconds. The kind where you keep discovering something new, even days later.

I’m not trying to decorate a wall.

I’m building pieces of jewelry that are also paintings.

After years of going back and forth between the army, my studio, my travels, and everything in between, I’m finally entering a new chapter 📚

I’ve just finished the army, and for the first time in a long time, I can put all my energy into creating again 🪖🎨🖌️

This time, I decided to put everything on the table.

A new team.
A new way of managing.
A new way of working, thinking, and creating.

I want to build an environment where ideas can go further, where I can challenge myself more, experiment more, and give each piece the time and ambition it deserves.

After designing this Sefer Torah, I somehow found myself carrying it myself, all the way from Jerusalem to Nigeria 🇮🇱🇳🇬

I had a few days off from the army, and Rudy Rochman sent me there to meet this Jewish community and bring them the Torah ✈️🌍

A different country, a different culture, a different way of life, but the same Torah and the same connection 🔌

Designing the Torah case was a real challenge for me too. I wanted to create something that could truly become part of their story 🎨

This journey was also about stepping into the unknown, meeting Jewish brothers on the other side of the world, listening, learning, and discovering stories we rarely hear about.

Sometimes, you have to travel very far to realize just how connected we really are.

Havdalah in Nigeria 🇳🇬🇮🇱 surrounded by a Jewish community so far from home, yet somehow deeply connected.

Thank you @wewereneverlost and @rudy_israel for sending me here and allowing me to be part of this journey.

The Promised Journey

Made of journeys, encounters, memories, cultures, landscapes we have crossed, and fragments we carry with us, sometimes without even realizing it.

Each element becomes a trace: something received, passed on, discovered, & transformed along the way. taken in Israel by @ubabmad

Shana Tova 🇮🇱🇳🇬
Nigeria, 2026.

This year took me to places I never imagined I would go.

A few weeks ago, I traveled to Nigeria to meet a community living their connection to the Torah with incredible strength.

For months, I had the chance to work on the design of a Sefer Torah created for this community. Thinking through every detail, every symbol, every material, and then seeing this object leave the studio, travel thousands of kilometers, and finally be gifted there… was an adventure in itself.

For me, designing an object like this is not simply about creating something beautiful. It is about touching something that existed long before us, and trying to bring a contemporary language to it without ever losing its soul.

Traveling with this Torah, meeting the families, listening to their stories, sharing Shabbat with them, and witnessing the moment it entered its new home is something that will stay with me for a long time.

For this new year, I wish us more curiosity, more unexpected encounters, and more courage to go and discover what exists beyond what we already know.

And above all, to keep creating bridges.

Odyssey Through Eden ⌛️

A boat crosses a world that follows no rules.
Tigers in the water, arches, jungle, desert, flowers, and an almost unreal sky. Everything exists at the same time.

With this piece, I wanted to push even further the mix between travel, memories, and imagination. I wanted every part of it to almost feel like a painting of its own.

That has also become my challenge with every new work: making sure the next one surprises me even more than the one before. taken in Israel by @ubabmad

FROM FIRE TO DUST ❤️‍🔥 BURNING MAN 2026

🏜️ From the front line to Nigeria.
Back to the army.
Then Burning Man 2026.

Different worlds, same life.

I’ve seen war, faith, people, chaos, beauty, silence and fire.
And through every place, every risk, every strange turn of this journey, I’ve felt protected by Hashem.

I don’t separate my life from my art anymore.
Everything I live becomes part of it.

Every road. Every face. Every scar. Every color.

This is my life.
This is my story.
