אל שלולית המים הוא לקט נבחר משיריו של אבי, עזרא מורד. שירים שנולדו מתוך אהבה גדולה לילדים, לטבע ולשפה, ומזמינים את הקורא לעצור, להתבונן, ולהיזכר בקסם הפשוט הטמון בכל שלולית קטנה
On To The Puddle is a selected collection of poems by my father, Ezra Morad - poems born out of a deep love for children, nature and language. They invite to pause, look closely, and to rediscover the simple magic hidden in every little puddle.
Paintings, sea, people and childhood dreams - all of these were poured to a sandbox into 37 figures on the beach captured at a given moment . The paintings (Oil on paper) featured as an installation on the beaches of Israel & UK; attached to wooden poles stucked in the sand; against the background of the sky, waves interacting with the local scene.
Imagining different reality; in which color and shape harmoniously rule, where sensuality and naiveté converge; and liberated body postures bring to life an ensemble of women ornamented with vegetable hats, flirting with lettuce, cabbage and garden radish. While creating the collage boards presented in Album Leket I found myself creating this reality.
“The Flamingo Is Not Silly” is children’s poem book written by my father, Ezra Morad. The illustrations (oil on paper) expressing my own connection to the spirit of the book.

On the wide open southern beaches of Israel, I have discovered a modern race of the legendary “Amazons” - Russian immigrant elderly women, exposing their solid massive body to the warmth of the Israeli sun, standing upright with their bikinis, letting each fold and wrinkle reveal years passed, ignoring the contemporary perceptions and fashion rules - Free with their body, Free at last - Free with their lust. December 2015

Wandering the Jaffa alleys, sights changing, blending consciousness and imagination, glory with destruction, layers of colors, wires and pipes revealing and disguising rural history passed with modern necessities and urban tempo. The colors are reminiscent of a forgotten grandeur lives. Jaffa in my mind is love, intimacy and untamed freedom coupled with alienation, tension and estrangement. July 2017

Old family pictures taken while walking Manhattan's streets, assembled with random collection of art postcards, into one collage. It was a long digesting process with variety of materials and moods transformed into one long imaginary story.
Storytelling, repurposing & resuming are in the process of rummaging & flipping through forgotten magazines, searching for the pictures. Sometimes it starts with a general theme, dominant colour or the shape of a surface I’ve chosen to cover. The coherent composition evolves by the layers & images movement, giving the viewer a dual outlook; suspend observation to discover the complex, layers and disguised figures or to have a quick look of the uniform surface.
