Living Matter
Photograph from a series dedicated to sculptors' workshops. Beneath a thin transparent sheet rests a sculpture in the process of being made. Covered with delicate drops of condensation, the plastic surface ceases to function merely as protection and becomes an image in its own right. It simultaneously reveals and conceals the form beneath, allowing only a faint sense of its presence to emerge. The sculpture seems almost to possess its own quiet life, while the plastic becomes a delicate membrane between inside and outside, between the time of making and the time of waiting. The photograph draws attention to those subtle states of the creative process that often go unnoticed. Like the series as a whole, the work explores human presence through material, space, and the traces of time, presenting the studio as a place where form is in a constant state of becoming. Print and presentation: Fine Art Print. Presented with a white mat and framed in wood.

Mari Noire
Mari Noire was born and raised in Moscow and has been living in Israel for almost four years. She is a photographer, collage artist, and ceramic artist. She studied Classical Philology, as well as Italian language and culture, at the Russian State University for the Humanities before continuing her education in photography at the Rodchenko Moscow School of Photography and Multimedia. Mari's artistic practice brings together photography, ceramics, collage, and wood. She is interested in the relationship between materials, memory, and space, and approaches photography not only as an independent medium but also as a way of exploring the creative process. For many years, Mari has collaborated with sculptors, creating visual narratives about artists' studios, the making of artworks, and the relationship between artists and their materials. Together with her husband, sculptor Serafim Cherny, she develops collaborative projects in which photography becomes an integral part of a dialogue with sculpture. Alongside her personal projects, Mari creates portraits, lifestyle and street photography, and documents Israel's contemporary art scene, including exhibitions, studio practices, and cultural events.
