My name is Tamar. My work engages with photography as a search for a personal language that creates memory, confronts loss, and examines the home as an emotionally charged space.

I photograph intuitively yet consciously, sometimes staging scenes within my parents’ home and my own, and at other times observing everyday moments of closeness through a documentary gaze—between objects, between bodies, between generations. My daughter and partner occasionally take part in the photographs, and archival materials found in the home are also integrated as an integral part of the work. I work with medium-format digital photography, shoot in natural light, and choose to work in color, מתוך a desire to preserve the materiality, light, and emotional presence that exist in reality.

My practice is influenced by the meeting point between documentation and intimacy, between photography and the mental object, and by texts that engage with memory, the gaze, and photography as a reflection of absent presence.
