Bialik's poem "I did not win from the no man's land," in the third stanza he says

"And under the hammer of my great troubles
Because my heart will explode, Tzur-Azi ,
It's the spark flying, splashing to my eyes ,
And my eyes - to the beads "
The poet refers mainly to the accelerated creative process. Following the troubles that befall him and like a hammer carves in his erupting heart and the spark jumps into his eye, and his eye becomes a song, like the tear the transition to the eye serves as a window to the human soul, and the suffering and difficulty involved . So too during the corona awe and tension, apprehension and uncertainty, caused a burst of creativity. Reality has written new insights, a different approach and an understanding of dynamic and changing situations that you have no direction to direct but to flow. Suddenly there was an opportunity within loneliness and closure to re-evaluate the life processes, the individual within the individual society with respect to the community. Personal responsibility and collective responsibility. A burst of protest disagreements on the one hand and lots of support encouragement and understanding on the other.
In this exhibition I combined spirit and matter. I asked those around me family members and acquaintances if they had been given a chance to peek through the keyhole for what they would like to see. Usually the majority chose positive, happy, and groundbreaking topics. Colorful landscapes and spaces. Fairy tales, long-distance voyages and visits to unknown lands. I put the opposites of looking from the inside out and from the outside into the inside of the house.
I placed the hammer as the same key that can open: build - create change world orders and also lock - destroy beat to protest and flood problems and crises.
I posted scenes of miniatures expressing musings, events, attention to key figures in society. Judges' hammer and enlightenment on the judiciary. National security-related violence, road violence, road accidents, violence against women, farmers' protests and construction workers' accidents. And of course the presentation of the achievement and the positive builder: education and medicine, religion and state, good neighborliness and mutual guarantee. Discovery and production of soil resources - salt, minerals and gas for the benefit of the citizens of the country.
Two years is a long time to plan and execute an exhibition. Thoughts that I expressed in the language of art in different materials: fabrics, colors, metals, clay, ready-made objects and in various techniques of improper painting and writing.
I wanted to present my world as a creative artist who is able in my special language to convey messages to reveal, awaken and illuminate, to bring the visiting viewers to a light hour of rubbing shoulders with a reality that is surely related to each and every one of them.
Closing: January 10, 2022.
