Nira is tackling a subject
matter which is not a
simple one. A subject

which was handled
throughout times by many
great artists.

There are many ways to

deal with myths. The
Biblical story of the
Creation is a sort of a

myth. There is the
narrative form -
illustrating a story, Nira
does not tell a story, but,
without any pretense, she

creates a universe.

the Gutman Museum in Tel-Aviv.
