About the Artwork:
We Walk Alone Together' brings up the principle of the cycle of life and the baggage that one carries from birth until death; whether if referring to a physical subject of a conceptual idea, an object or a memory - each person has their own baggage that is accumulated during his or her life time that is eventually left behind.
Through the minimalistic use of material and the contrast between black and white, light and darkness, entire philosophical viewpoints compacted into a dichotomy the exists between the difficulties in the ability to release and let go and the easiness of doing so.
The emphasis that Yekutieli puts on the dialogue between control and acceptance, is on the option of choice, the need of being aware and identifying; and at the end of process, the individuals capability to maneuver between being in his or her own and belonging to a much larger happening.

About the Artist:
For the past two years, Noa
has been independently researching the technique of paper-cutting in various
formats and sizes.
The artists work is
characterized by high aesthetics and complexity, creating a certain notion of
beauty that allows a direct and immediate connection with the viewer.
In her work, dynamic
situations are translated into 'frozen' or static scenes. The works often deal
with crises, tragedy and a human struggle that is viewed through a filter of
fragility that deceivingly beautifies them, tempting the viewer to look deeper
into the surprising content of the pieces.
The starting point of the
artists work is black, sealed paper, which is later carefully cut, only to
create slits of light- irreversible openings of hope.
By using rigorous, or even
obsessive methods to alter the paper, Noa reinterprets and tames the difficult
scenes to create an illusion based on a cutting technique. This combines a
careful and calculated hand, alongside intricate patterns, challenging the use
of light and shadow.
The pieces are often
presented in a way that allows the organic shadows to be seen, by using
specific methods of framing and lighting.
The idea of 'the shadow' is
inseparable from the work itself-opposed to the feeling of control that the
cutting technique transmits. The shadow in the work functions as a metaphor for
the uncontrollable aspects in life, the truth and its warping that sometimes
bears heavy on our existence, but also is a proof of it.
