Own Self Mandir

In my understanding, a temple is a place in which you practice for something you believe in, but is non-physical.

I translated that understanding so that the object of belief is reflected. The practice makes you looking at yourself through words that are associated to god, but can be read as both a description of one's action: "created" "judged" "blessed", or an imperative: "create!" "judge!" "bless!". The mandir is placed as a street art or graffiti in a central commercial street in Jerusalem, and across Bezalel's historical building in the city center.

The Own Self Mandir is my personal temple, that rely on the belief that we have the power to control our lives.

Planning and marking, digging, foundation belt, planting the bamboos, raising the roof,  adding bamboo sits, purring concrete, adding shades and sand to the platform, used by the kids.

Mandir for the seasons

MANDIR FOR THE SEASONS - AUTUMN

The Mandir lies on the western slope of the Valley of the Cross in Jerusalem which is an oasis in the midst of the city hustle. The Mandir for the seasons is seen from my favorite lookout - bold and clear against the backdrop of the landscape and separated from the surrounding vegetation as if given respect. 

Every time I come back, the Mandir's appearance changes a bit, and over long periods of time his dress changes entirely. This time of year, after the long and dry summer months, the Hatzav is the only flower that has managed to grow, signaling the beginning of Autumn and the rain to come.
