The exhibitions explore the relationship between material, perception, ritual and memory. Working across glass, paper, light and ceramics, the artworks move between the intangible and the tactile.

Ilan El’s luminous glass works transform architecture through colour, transparency and the emotional resonance of light, while Berlin/Melbourne-based artist Deborah Wargon explores line, shadow, time and ancestral memory through intricate black paper installations that shift between positive and negative space.

In dialogue with these immersive spatial works, Chaya Joffe and Ryan Abramowitz present ceramic vessels and Jewish ritual objects grounded in lived experience, ceremony and material connection.

Their works draw on traditions of gathering, passage, healing and sacred domestic practice, reimagining ritual forms through contemporary ceramic language.

Together, the exhibition creates a powerful presence of contemporary Jewish artists whose practices are connected through themes of light and shadow, transformation, ritual and the poetics of handmade form. Across all four exhibitions, material becomes a carrier of memory, spirituality, and human connection.
