'Bezalel' Academy graduates for Art & Design recently presented their finale graduation projects; From the variety span of opuses and compositions i picked out the most acclaimed graduates.
The 'Bezalel' - Jerusalem, Art & Design academy's exhibition is one of the most fascinating events that i look forward to every year; It all starts from my mental readiness when i travel to Jerusalem, especially for this specific exhibition and moves on to the clear air i breath when i observe the city streets from high above whereas 'Bezalel' academy situated at the city.
As i start to explore the exhibition i felt something different in the perception and attitude apart from all the other graduates exhibitions that takes place these days; I couldn't ignore the fact that this ambiance and school's spirit makes me want to go back and start here as a student all over again.
Among all the young artists who exposed their work, only seven of them which their projects were so eye taking, engaged my curiosity; Albeit these seven wonders still have a long way ahead of them for recognition in the world of art and design, but i trust they will get there eventually.
