‘Still-life’-fleeting or “passing –away” 

Over the past seven years, I’ve lost both my parents—my father, Admiral Samek Yannay, who sailed into the gray horizon, and my mother, Bat-Ami, who followed him soon after.
These losses drew me back into old family albums, sharing them with mourners and friends, piecing together anecdotes, timelines, and the fragile, fleeting moments these images preserved.
The photographs seem compassionate in their imperfection—fading, yet refusing to completely let go.

 

The works—landscapes, portraits, accidental superimpositions—may appear unrelated, but they all share a quiet compassion.
Each image invites you to confront the bittersweet truth: that time is relentless, slipping away even as we try to hold it still.
Through these images, I hope to capture not moments but the fragile, beautiful duality of permanence and impermanence.
