Shir Cohen

The works arise from a charged daily reality in which I live and create, where helplessness, violence, and loss permeate the everyday. For me, the artistic act is an effort to grasp something, suspend a moment, touch the essence, and allow space for reflection.

The objects I create attempt to process a shifting reality without stable grounding. The body serves as a creative medium – a tool for action and testimony, a place where time accumulates and leaves traces. Some works carry marks of past actions, while others hold movements still unfolding. At times they are violent or require surrender, and at others they offer quiet space for contemplation.
