A heart of flowers

Oren Pravda, the flower artist, a creative sculptor and gifted designer, passed away after a long struggle with cancer. Oren was involved in the Creation Seeds of the Raz-Ram Foundations, especially in the science and arts project, which he supported through its creation phases, but in the end couldn’t participate due to his failing health.

Oren’s spirit, a spirit of creation, openness, abundant kindness, the forceful linking of creativity, intuition, rational and moral judgment, and the memory of his unique personality, his gaze, smile and voice, still linger with all his friends, and will stay with them forever.
The photographs attached reveal the breadth of his artistic work. Apart from stage design for grand special occasions Oren was a sculptor and his work was shown in various places. He had a special connection to the world of flowers. Seeing the realm of Flora through creative eyes and combining it within a conceptual frame of artistic and utilitarian design – that was Oren’s art and his craft. Oren chose an academic route that took him to the fields of biology, and later he decided to enrich that connection to the realm of flora through an imaginative and creative approach to design.
His creative spirit, so full of love and art, will always be
with us.

Tutoring and Photography

Tutoring in Photography leads to Photography Exhibition

Yuval is a young man loves photography. He participated in the Seeds of Creation project in Jaffo, and documented the course of the Marionette project on film. In that project, bereaved Jewish and Arab children designed and built marionette puppets. Yuval, who was part of the guidance staff, was himself tutored by Naomi, a professional photographer and IDF widow, who taught him from her own extensive experience.
Yuval’s photographs, taken during the year of the project, were displayed at the Enav Center art gallery, in the framework of an exhibition that accompanied the project to its completion. Yuval continues to study photography and volunteers as a Tutor for young bereaved children, at the stage in their lives where they desperately need an adult figure – a situation he is familiar with from his own experience.
