Drawing on Israeli material culture, archaeology, and mid-century local ceramics, this work brings together architectural forms, ornament, and symbolic references. Through processes of translation and transformation, familiar motifs are removed from their original contexts and reassembled into a sculptural language that reflects an ongoing interest in cultural memory and the evolution of forms across time.

About Liora Kaplan
Kaplan's work is rooted in the symbolic language of material and is fascinated by how cultures embed meaning into matter. She works across sculpture, installation, and archival strategies, often drawing from overlooked local histories and traditional craft. She has developed an archive of patterns from mid-century Israeli ceramics that serves as a generative engine for sculptural forms.
