Epilogue

Update sent to supporters of the crowdfunding project, April 11, 2015: 

3 years. 11 paintings. 11 women who embarked on this journey with me. My journey ends now. 
Dear supporters, I thank each of you for enabling me to undertake this journey.
There is no doubt that this empowering experience will accompany me for the rest of my life. I have learned so much along the way, thanks to you I went back to look my long-standing disorder deep in the eye without fear.
I returned to the darkest places and emerged from them strengthened and unashamed.
I met amazing, strong, and brave women with inner resilience and optimism, even if it is not always visible… but it is there. With them. Deep inside. It is also (I hope) what will accompany them on their way out. It and the painting they received from me, their vision for 2020 through my eyes.

There is something symbolic for me in starting and finishing this project during Passover. In a way, each of the women I met along the way is dealing with her exodus from Egypt. Each of them experiences hardships along the way and does not give up on herself.
I hope that by Passover 2020 each of them will reach the promised land and I wish them all the best of luck from the bottom of my heart.

Exhibition

The exhibit “2020, an Optimistic Social Art Project”.
In 2016 I presented the project for the first time in a solo exhibition at Azul Gallery in Tel Aviv. In 2017, the project was presented again in the Brender Library for Social Sciences Management and Education, Tel Aviv University.

It featured the Project’s 11 paintings along with Project Obsession (2011) which constitutes a preliminary project. Project 2020 lasted three years (2012-2015) and is based on my personal story. During the Project, I met with 11 women who suffer from eating disorders: anorexia, bulimia, and compulsive eating. Based on these meetings and a questionnaire they filled out, I created for each of them a forward-looking painting for the year.
