Ariel Lavian (Israel) - Designer
Brooch, copper, various patinas.

Design-ul meu e influentat de materialele crude care ma inconjoara. Creez noi lumi din resurse limitate si gasesc bogatii semnificative in pamant, in busteni putreziti, in cuiburi de viespi, in crengile copacilor, in obiecte stricate, in pungi vechi de plastic, aproape in orice. Ma concentrez mai mult pe material si nu pe obiect, il studiez, ii inteleg proprietatile si il folosesc sa creez, mici dar complete, scene naturale, post-salbatice. Cred ca prin design - ca unealta - pot sa aduc o schimbare, sa fac diferenta, sa impresionez oamenii.
My design is influenced by the raw materials surrounding me. I create new worlds from the limited resources and find tremendous wealth in the soil, the rotting logs, wasp's nest, branches of the trees, broken objects, old plastic bags, it can be anything. I refer to the material and not to the object, study it, understand its properties and use it to create small but complete scenes of staged nature, ex-wild. I believe that through design - as a tool - I can make a change, make a difference, affect people.
