Original Art

Art as inscription. A reflection on what we carry with us over time.

“Bearing Marks” looks at what stays after change. Moving between countries, languages, and environments creates constant shifts, but some things don’t disappear. They stay in the body, in memory, and in the way we move through the world.

This body of work is shaped by that tension. On one side, the experience of immigration, where identity is always adapting. On the other, the logic of tattooing, where a mark is permanent and cannot be undone.

Tattooing changed the way the artist understands drawing. The line is no longer something temporary. It enters the skin, becomes part of the body, and carries weight over time. It involves decision, pain, and commitment. Once it exists, it stays.

In these works, that idea expands beyond the body. The surface becomes a place where marks are built, repeated, and layered. Instead of representing an image, the drawings function more like records of experience, where each line adds to something that cannot be erased.

At the same time, living between Brazil and Israel brings a constant sense of movement. Languages shift, references change, and belonging is never fixed. This creates a state where identity is always being adjusted, but never completely reset.

These two conditions exist together in the work. Marks that stay. Structures that keep changing.

“Bearing Marks” is about that coexistence. About what moves, and what remains. About how identity is shaped over time, through both change and permanence.
