“Soprana” was conceived בעקבות the artist’s encounter with a soprano performing on stage, observing how, through voice and presence, she transforms into another kind of entity. The work is structured as a tripod, a form that evokes stability, balance, and openness. This configuration points to the idea of the body as vibration, to the voice as an extension of matter, and to the relationship between sound, breath, and space.

The sculpture introduces a tension between fragility and resistance, between transparency and structure, suggesting a permeability between bodies, emotional states, and temporalities.
