        BIKING: There is much charm in the physical phenomenon of the wheel in   motion of the wheels, are the perfect combination of coordination and
        motion, maintaining a vertical position, as long as it continues to turn and   harmony. The bicycle becomes mechanically an extension of the body, and
        propel forward.  Bicycles have enchanted me ever since I was a child. I learnt   is in harmony with the body’s language and all of its movements. Now that
        to ride at a young age and my entire childhood and adolescence was linked   we have crossed the end of the millennium, and the car fills most domains
        to my bicycle and the feeling of independence it gave me. As time passed,   of our lives, we constantly witness the detriment that excessive use of the
        this memory has become a central motif that appears repeatedly in my work   motor car caused to our environment. Now is the time for the glory of the
        in different forms. I take pleasure in the idea that the bicycle rider is aware   cycling culture. Millions of people in China and India still use the bicycle as
        (consciously or sub-consciously) of the fact that he has to maintain constant   their means of transportation, while in the Western world, people are returning
        motion in order to keep balance on his vehicle. The elements of dynamics and   to it as a solution for recreational needs. Cycling - as a sport, as a way of
        tension incorporate into the artistic creation, which is static by nature. The   experiencing open spaces, enjoying nature and relishing the slow pace of
        beauty of the connection between the rider and the bicycle carrying him,   motion. Perhaps the bicycle will ultimately be the one to save us from the
        as well as the direct connection between the motion of the legs and the   damage of modern technology.
