about the exhibition

The exhibition was presented at the Jerusalem Theater @jerusalemtheatre as part of the farewell event for the CEO of the association, Mrs. Clara Feldman.
Sometimes a person's disability draws our attention and prevents us from observing.
This project is about observation, and whoever observes, falls in love.
People with disabilities are entitled to equal, inclusive, accepting and tolerant treatment.
There is joy in them, also sadness, and lots of love.
I want to thank the president of Shekel, the Prime Minister's wife, the writer @lihilapid for the great soul and the blessing of the road.
Thanks to the incoming CEO of Shekel Mr. Ofer Dehari for the smile and the push @ Last week I presented the first project I had the privilege of doing for Shekel - community integration for people with disabilities.
