The leaf

Synthetic leaf- analog mechanism 

This project was done as part of the master's program in industrial design at Bezalel 

laboratory of non-linear physics and smart sheets by Professor Eran Sharon at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Supervisor - Maya Ben David, Liora Rosin and Dana Ben Shalom

Practical accompaniment - Ido Levin

It is rolled around itself bound and gathered. Slowly an overwhelming inner force The same for the dance in which his body stands upright is stretched and opened to the limit of capacity.

Bloom leaf is a whole life course. Thanks to the encounter with the lab Of Professor Eran Sharon I am exposed to the same internal physical forces Responsible for the unique movement of nature in particular and of bodies Organic as a whole. The leaves are suitably composed and responsive to each other Through simple mechanical communication.

They grow, bloom And wither as a result of chemical threading manifested in physical phenomena Varieties which, among other things, are responsible for their movement. Observing the organic and trying to explore the circumstance are the basis From which grows the project in which I strive to bring the look on The phenomenon into a visual expression, give the equations physical representation and suggest the Design as an intermediary between the world of research and nature.
