Motion Design/ Collage / 2026
The brief began with a mood board and no fixed direction. I was drawn to the idea of capturing a moment- something casual, immediate, and almost documentary. That led me to Docaviv, Tel Aviv’s International Documentary Film Festival, and to the thought that anyone can become a documentary subject, even for a split second.
The project developed into a lineup video that connects archival Tel Aviv with the city as it feels today. Through collage, match cuts, and cut-on-action transitions, different people, places, and gestures merge into one continuous motion.

Developing the Visual Language
The process focused on connecting old and contemporary Tel Aviv through archival research, collage, and motion.
I wanted to create a constant dialogue between past and present. Inspired by Docaviv’s dotted logo,
I used halftone textures as a recurring graphic element, alongside bold Hebrew typography, torn-paper textures,
and a warm color palette drawn from the atmosphere of the city.

Sketches & Work in Progress
Early tests explored different ways of combining archival images, contemporary figures,
typography, and motion before the final collage language was defined.
