ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The image is a part of a large series,
I began to create these images in the last year, a period characterized by and characterizing many changes in my life, and especially in the way I think.
The great need to create these images characterized, to a great extent, my realization of wide ranging changes that had awakened my own personal awareness.
I decided to express in this project my view of humans and their desires, the glass walls that we erect in our way, when we are prevented from achieving our dreams and ambitions.
Compromising on the mediocre, the norm, the ordinary instead of setting ourselves goals that we perceive as daydreams, with only a rare chance of fulfillment.
Relinquishing before it is too late future aims and dreams, whether in the fields of relationships, career, or actually any aspect of life, on the simple basis that there are few chances that we will achieve them.
All this led me to understand the many barriers that we set ourselves, and as such, we are the only ones, and in truth, the first, to sabotage our happiness.
Whilst carrying out this work, I learned to understand that we only tie ourselves to our comfort areas, but to a great extent, we have also tied ourselves up with ropes and barriers, without which the reality of loss of control becomes a bottomless pit.
I decided to describe the many situations of dealing with barriers using different types of ropes in a series of self-portraits. Using studio lighting and black and white photography allows me to create a greater emphasis on the situation taking place, and to turn our attention to the tension and lack thereof between the body and rope, twisting forms and the tightening and release of the ropes.

AUTHOR
My name is Nofar Horovitz. I am a Fine art photographer based in Israel ( born 1986 )
i specialize in Nude art and still life photography , and working both in analog medium format and digital techniques .

Photography for me is a remarkable tool that allows me to sculpt my vision into an image. I appreciate the necessity of light in the picture, and also the lack thereof.
In my observation of the world, I examine and focus on details that make up the greater picture, and at the same time, I skip various components, sometimes in a less controlled manner so as to leave gaps, which viewers can fill in according to their perspectives, thoughts, conclusions and observations of all components simultaneously.
In my view, I search for order, sharp lines and cleanliness, which for me empower the meaning of the final product .
