The exhibition features homage works created by third-year students as a response, interpretation, and tribute to Deganit's vast body of work accumulated over the years. These pieces are displayed alongside hers as a living dialogue between teacher and students, source and echo, tradition and innovation.

​At the core of the exhibition and the artworks lies the "Precious Stone" (the gemstone): a central concept in Stern Schocken’s artistic language, through which questions of memory, identity, value, and politics take shape. In Deganit’s hands, a "Precious Stone" can be a word, a stance, or even water. The department’s students continue to explore this concept's boundaries through works created especially for the exhibition.

​Alongside the artworks, the documentary "An Act of Beauty" will be screened. Produced as part of Shenkar's Research Fund for Gender Equality by three department lecturers: Yael Ouliel, Orina Parente, Noy Alon, and directed by Roni Benisti, the film offers a rare glimpse into Stern Schocken’s character and work. These conceptual currents converge at the Geological Museum in Ramat Hasharon, where stones have long told a story.
