The series consists of three works: «Shma!»
Exploring the texts and art of Asemic Writing, I invite you to delve into reflections on the prayer “Shema”—this key element of spiritual practice that frames our day, opening and closing it. “Shema” is not just a prayer; it is the first prayer a child recites and the last words whispered by the dying, embodying the beginning and end of the journey of life. In these unstable times, when the world seems confusing and unpredictable, prayer remains with us, providing not only comfort but also inspiring reflections on life, faith, and hope. In my project, I strive to explore how these profound symbols and meanings of the prayer can help us find answers and maintain a connection with the Almighty in any circumstances.

The laboratory in Neve-Schechter has been a source of deep inspiration and self-discovery for me. Studying Jewish writings as part of the Beit Midrash program not only enriched my knowledge but significantly influenced the development of my work concepts. This experience allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the philosophical and spiritual aspects that I integrate into my art now. The laboratory became a place where intellectual discussions and textual studies stimulated my imagination and fostered the development of new ideas and approaches in my art.
Oder is a talented artist and designer from Tel Aviv, whose work embodies the spirit of abstract minimalism. His creations are infused with the philosophy of Kandinsky and Malevich, complemented by enigmatic asemic writings. Oder masterfully uses a range of materials and techniques, alternating between mathematical precision and geometric constructions, with explorations of chaos and randomness. His art is a dialogue between order and disorder, creating unique and profound visual experiences.
