Shira Horenstien
A designer and an artist, who holds a bachelor’s degree in industrial design from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (2020). Her work traverses object design for the home environment and unique designs for commercial spaces. Upon completing her bachelor’s degree, she participated in the Bezalel alumni’s Incubator (“Hamama”) activity, where she presented an exhibition in the 2021 Design Week. She also presented several works addressing local material culture and mysticism.
Together with members of the Miss Production Studio collective, she presented products with a local Israeli flair at the Fresh Paint fair. The products were made of raw materials that represent the Israeli industrial culture, in collaboration with various Israeli companies and with emphasis on the utilization of scrap materials and renewal with a sustaining outlook.
“In my work, I examine mystical elements and symbols, investigating them from various angles and drawing the boundaries between art and thought. I refer to the relationship between the old and the new, between preservation and restoration, between covert essence and implementation, between art and society, between heritage and design, between the local and the universal. I seek to bring the wings of the spirit to the offering of matter.”

Shir Shkalim
Multidisciplinary designer.
Graduated from the Department of Interior Design, Building and Environment, Shenkar College, Ramat Gan.
Shir Shkalim is engaged in the endless search for a multisensory experience derived from a combination of creative fields. Her works focus on the gaps and overlaps between different disciplines – space, architecture, sound, music, light, manifestation, experience, art. She does so with the aim of awakening all the senses, sensations, thoughts and dynamics that coexist within the moment itself.
Among her projects: studio design for a music program (flute); design, planning and construction of art installations; curation and costume for a private gallery (Surf The Sky); lighting, spatial manifestations and guerrilla actions, art direction for a music clip (Michal Amit); VJ, concept development, content writing and social media marketing (Eureka Design Ltd).
In the attached photo: a crystal field performance created for Midburn 2021 in collaboration with Camp Sunrise. The crystal field consists of 11 objects of simple geometric shapes that function as prisms, “imprisoning” sunrays and “propelling” them out in a variety of shapes and colors. The objects’ shifting position in relation to the sun’s movement produces a space in constant transformation, generating visual illusions in the desert landscape that challenge the optical perception of the human eye. Light (and its refraction) turns into a cosmic and spiritual source; a material that creates space. The installation allows for a renewed perspective and acute observation of natural phenomena and human existence.

Daniella Bella CandleShine
Lives and works in Tel Aviv.
Works in different media such as drawing, video and sculpture. Each action requires its own material.
Graduated with honors in Fine Art from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (2020); was an exchange student at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków (2019).
My body is an important creative partner. It appears in my works as an actor, an image or a measurement unit. As a raw material it is easily available, malleable, compliant and inexpensive. The fact that I own it endows me with freedom of action.
For the past two years I have been drawing with wall putty and charcoal, using a technique that I keep developing and through which I keep evolving. My drawings are made in motion, as I stand in front of the wall and mobilize my entire body. Movement is an integral part of the drawing itself, as is the space in which the drawing is being produced. I explore the physicality of the act of drawing, the spiritual charge inherent to the creative act, as well as the material tension between the triviality and coarseness of the wall putty on the one hand, and the delicacy and fragility of the charcoal on the other.
