Pieces of Defense is a series of five objects placed on the body in various ways, that are a visual expression of psychological defense mechanisms. Humans wear different layers of mental protection that keep them from facing complexity and emotional difficulty. Sometimes these layers are essential and other times they are unconscious and very limiting. The objects enable a conscious encounter with these layers. Based on research, the pieces are a hybrid of 3 different fields - psychological defense mechanisms, ancient armory and weaponry and defense mechanisms in plants. +++ PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY: ILAY BITAN, MODELING: ADI RABAN
