The work does not wait for its viewer's response. Instead, it turns to them, as if asking for their reaction: "donate me", "don't pass by without stopping", "help me create my art", "respond", "get involved"
Sculpture, leather, epoxy, aluminum & paper (group show)
2010
Design Space Gallery, Tel-Aviv, Israel

JUDE- the work creates a jarring conflict between the word Jude, with its charged historic meaning, and the light, shallow execution that is unable to contain its burden.

A5 Design Magazine and Art Saloona Gallery, Tel-Aviv, Israel
"Portrait"
White stool - Artist and objects are presented in a series of photographs that comprise the piece, situated on a wooden chair that once belonged to Eitan Bartal’s grandmother.

Life, for him, is not methodical. He has no ordered plan (one-man show)
