Maya Shochat (1995) is a multidisciplinary creator working across jewelry, photography, and objects. Her work unfolds between abstract formal investigations and the traces of architecture, art theory, and cultural narratives. She reinterprets traditional crafts through a contemporary lens, deconstructing and reconstructing images, materials, and technologies to create a visual language where contrasts coexist harmoniously.
