At the beginning of my journey, coinciding with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, I embarked on a two-year exploration across Europe.

My first destination was London, where familiar tourist spots were unexpectedly devoid of people.

While exploring its eerily deserted streets, I stumbled upon a children's mask featuring the comic book hero 'Iron Man,' crafted from plastic and discarded beneath a rubbish bin.

This superhero mask, now reduced to a mere plastic remnant, seemed 'powerless' and stripped of its former significance.

I began capturing photographs of myself wearing the mask in various settings, feeling compelled to rejuvenate its essence. The mask transformed into a metaphorical filter, a symbolic barrier that separated me from reality.

״Chen's expressive artistic interventions in two undeniable emblems of Jewish ancestry- a pair of corroding iron handcuffs attached to the leather straps of tefillin, and a leather whip with eight twined a knotted strands attached to the tzitzit(instead of the tzitzit's eight tassels) - convey personal insights about the controversial educational methods and the authoritative way in which religious world views are disseminated״

"Chen's minimalist installation addresses personal narratives related to issues of femininity and gender roles. Paraphernalia, from ordinary daily beauty-care routine,and household chores are translated into meticulously crafted glass objects and placed within their natural habitat. yet, this habitat is transformed into a cold, lifeless, and alienated setting of surgical sterility"

I create sculptures that explore the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and technological aesthetics. Working with canvas.

I hand-stitch each piece with waxed threads, forming figures that resemble robotic or unidentified beings, often adorned with Victorian-style collars.

My work exists between human and machine, past and future where a mechanical appearance meets the intimacy of handwork, creating an ongoing dialogue between craft, material, and imagination.
