Shir Melech immersed in the worlds of textiles and photography, focusing on advancing the cyanotype technique. By using natural fabrics, found and recycled glass surfaces, she creates large-scale works with carefully assembled abstract compositions, rich in countless shades of blue.

 

Her process of crushing the glass surfaces on top of the soaked fabric, while giving into the unexpected sunlight effects, produced images of visionary landscapes, which seem at times like galaxies, glacial deserts or a magnified water drop. The images revealed echo the artist's personal exploration of depth psychology, inviting the observers to linger inside these inner spaces of consciousness and mind.

 

By viewing water as the source of life, the artist aims to draw us into this world of creation and genesis, reminding us of our small part in the universe, our responsibility towards the ecosystem, and our precious relationship with nature.
