You might be familiar with my paintings and the public art I’ve created around the world.
Now, I have a new dream! I want to produce real band-aids as a form of usable art.
Like those in the pharmacy, only in my design, for anyone to use in a place they want to fix.
Why band-aids? The band-aid is the image I am most identified with. It has been with me for more than a decade.
I have created thousands of band-aids all over Tel Aviv, obsessively painting them over Israel and gradually around the world. Whether on walls, electric cabinets, entire buildings, or even on people, this is what gave me my second name - Bandaid.
Not many know it, but the reason I started painting band-aids was my traumatic military service. While the band-aid couldn’t actually fix the problems I witnessed, each one I painted made me feel better.
Since then the band-aid has gathered many meanings. Throughout the years people have told and written me about what the band-aid symbolizes for them.
I want my band-aids to help others, reach everyone of you, and every place you chose to place them.
Like my art, my band-aid is incomplete without you. It must be accessible.
With a little help from you it would be a high-quality, elastic, comfortable and durable band-aid, produced in a variety of compositions and sizes.
The band-aids would be packaged in elegant, comfortable tin cases that you could reuse and repurpose or display as a collectors item.
Also, a large box will include a mix of all types and a special surprise for you to discover :)
In the city I create art that is open for everyone. In this project, I dream for you to be more than spectators, but also participants who use this creation. Through Headstart you can receive the band-aid boxes you chose alongside other unique rewards in special prices, and help me face the artistic challenge at hand.
I sincerely thank anyone who will help me realize this dream.
