("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The main idea was to create a shocking design which relates to science on a philosophic point of view. My inspiration was artists from Leonardo De Vinci's time who conducted studies of the human body through drawing and engravings of dead people.
: I aimed to achieve a unique mirror of personal pain. To create a design which can be seen and analyzed differently just by personality differences and by the viewer's course of life.
: My future plans are to extend my design and art to additional mediums such as photography, videos, artistic animations and non electronic art. I plan to keep this design living, breathing and evolving as does the academic research.
: It took me one year to research, study and develop this design.
: Dr. Smadar Bustan gave me full freedom to express my art through this design and I decided to pursuit my own inspiration.
: I am fascinated with the idea of humanizing pain and suffering, and giving those creatures the characteristics of cynical psychopaths.
: No. Myself only.
: Anyone, everyone, everywhere. I believe this work will make people curious about the Dr. Bustan research group. I hope that people who suffer will no longer feel alone or unspoken and I hope those in pain will find themselves or their voices in this design.
: Designing around subjects such as suffering and pain is very challenging as one can easily fall into clichés. I tried with every part of my body to create a "fresh" design that contains strong statement through visual elements that put together create an emotional experience
: This design has no name, The name that this design is attached to is the name of the international research group.
: My work is created using tools such as pencil and paper and computerized tools such as Adobe Photoshop and a Wacom tablet and pen.
: I think the most unique aspect of my design is not the work itself but the reactions and feedback I receive from people who view it. I am both honored and thrilled that until today, I did not receive two responses that were alike - each viewer sees different things and experiences this work completely differently
: I have done this work completely on my own.
: Apart from using modern technology and tools for the creation of this design, I tried to keep this work unrelated to any specific technology.
: For my work to be honest and true I had to step out of my comfort zone and daily routine and to identify pain and suffering in real life. I started taking pictures of myself on bad days but it wash't enough. I then asked members of my family to take pictures of them as they tell me the story of their lives. After that, I had the courage to go out to the streets. I took pictures of homeless people who's suffer and pain consumed them and their lives.
: Designing around subjects such as suffering and pain is very challenging as one can easily fall into clichés. I tried with every part of my body to create a "fresh" design that contains strong statement through visual elements that put together create an emotional experience
: I have personal strong feelings for this work. I work with Dr. Smadar Bustan and her international research group for the past five years (almost from its first day). I believe in it and I believe in the significance of this art to the research.
