Artist Statement

We understand the sukkah as a familiar and reserved space providing with a domestic setting. A construction built by the family members themselves, and therefore, getting a personal and imaginative character. A provisional element, simple and easy to assemble and dismantle. But within simplicity, it admits customization. The three walls and a ceiling are repeated in every sukkah, but the decoration makes each of them singular. These adornments give the space a different atmosphere and make it special and different from the others. That is what we like the most.
