Cut, wrapped, folded, shredded, smeared, sanded, smelled, felt. All of these are part of a research-based project on orange peel, looking for material potential it may hold and offering a fresh  take on it. 

An ecological approach to life and design has led to the choice of a common local resource, which also embodies an Israeli, cultural, and individual story. 

Using sensitive hand practices, 

I developed techniques and tools adapted to working with this material, enabling the creation of elements in different sizes, regardless of the peel size. 

Just as the peel in its natural form is the receptacle of the orange, the material research findings are also presented as receptacles that preserve the unique properties of the familiar material, texture, smell, and character.
