Workshop Relic
Photograph printed as a Fine Art Print on archival paper, presented with a museum-quality mat and wooden frame. Part of a photographic series devoted to sculptors’ workshops, this image transforms the everyday environment of artistic labor into a quietly dramatic visual narrative. Weathered metal, muted green surfaces, and the ephemeral appearance of human hands evoke a tactile sense of material history and accumulated work. Throughout the series, the creative process is approached indirectly and without portraiture; the artist seeks to convey its presence through tools, surfaces, traces, and gestures rather than through identifiable individuals. The resulting images inhabit a space between documentary observation and sculptural abstraction, where labor, memory, and making become inseparable.

Recognitions & Achievements
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.
