This work by Dana Harel is part of a series created through a process of pouring, drying, and the natural cracking of white industrial materials. The cracks and forms emerge without direct control, shaped by time, climate, and the material itself. The surfaces evoke images of the moon, cracked earth, or scarred, peeling skin. Here, white appears as a primordial material – like a blank page, a moment of pure potential and the quiet that precedes the formation of form. Through the material and its fractures, the works explore the boundary between visibility and invisibility, between what remains and what disappears, and between pain and the possibility of healing.
