DEBORAH SFEZ ARTIST

I am a writer of visions,
where language and light entwine.
My camera is the echo of my gaze—
an unseen eye that dreams beside me.

Through the lenses of photography and film,
I wander the landscapes of identity
and the tender archives of the self.
I trace the tremors and triumphs of being human,
and the quiet, fervent truth
of living as a woman
in the turning world of today.

​

My definition of identity is that of a complex puzzle, composed of many pieces, which begins to develop in childhood within the family circle, later identity is shaped by personal experiences as an adult and by one's relationships with others. Identity also develops through personal abilities, interests, and the rejection or acceptance of traditions. Finally, I insist on the fact that a woman’s identity develops differently than a man’s. Attraction, control of thoughts, the disabilities of a woman, dealing with pain, developing mental and physical power, the ability to lead a relationship, the magic of smiling, and the meaning of attractiveness all exist in a unique and very different way, that I would name: "An exclusively feminine Lexicon" that is not similar to a man's.
