Daniel had a troubled childhood punctuated by abuse, indifference and loneliness. After losing the most important person in his life, he went on a downward spiral that would eventually lead to his incarceration. But it was in the exploration of those depths that Daniel found the thing that he had been needing all along: Human Connection. â€œI see myself as a resilient, loyal and kind-hearted individual who may not always say the right thing but always means well.

Doron Gazit, a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem, will match your awe equally for his work with its scale. His choice of materials and settings reference the interface of nature, technology, and industry with a modern sensibility and playfulness.
