One of my more personal creations. Following my struggle with my physical and sensory limitations, I searched in nature for animals that cope with sensory limitations. The bat is one of them. Despite being almost completely blind, the bat manages to navigate in darkness and fly freely using a sophisticated positioning system based on sound waves (echolocation). This ability inspires me, and I would like to move as freely as it does despite my visual impairment.

A hovering sculpture is a static sculpture which, according to the artist’s vision, is ideally displayed suspended in the exhibition space, subject to the influence of air and wind.

Positioning the sculpture in space, hanging from the ceiling or an arm rather than standing on the ground, alters the viewer’s perspective and the way they perceive both the sculpture and the space it inhabits.

The bat sculpture reminds me a kids song about a bat:

“Conversation with a Bat” — by A. Hillel (Translated from Hebrew)

In the morning I asked the bat:
“Is it true that you are a mouse?”
“Nonsense, I’m a bird,”
the bat replied.

In the evening I asked the bat:
“Is it true that you are a bird?”
“Nonsense, I’m a mouse,”
the bat replied.
Indeed, a strange creature!

The next day I asked the bat:
“What do you do in the day?”
“Sleep.”
“And at night?”
“Think.”

“Where is your head?”
“Down below.”
“And where are your legs?”
“Up above!”
“And how are you in general?”
“Tra-la-la!”
