Statement

I chose to explore the question, "What would happen if roots grew upward?" This question offers a philosophical and metaphorical examination of the "what if" concept and evokes a vivid image of a fundamental change in the natural order. Roots, which typically grow downward, symbolize stability, grounding, and connection to the earth. This question suggests the possibility of viewing the past—our "roots"—from an unconventional perspective, not as a force that confines us to one place, but as one that propels us toward an unexpected and transformative future.

The world we inhabit is subject to constant disruptions and changes. Roots, representing our personal and collective histories, cling to the past, yet they are simultaneously uprooted, shaken, and fragmented into shards. It is our task to gather these scattered pieces and attempt to reassemble them. This process invites us to reflect on how we construct our future and to consider how we might create a better world from these fragments.

The interplay between strong, engineered, rigid, and stable metal and the delicate, fragile roots shaped by natural forces represents a mutual collaboration between humanity and its environment. This dialogue highlights the profound and unavoidable connection between human creativity and the world in which it is cultivated, emphasizing the reciprocity between nature and culture, growth and destruction.



Memory Network Series, 2026
Eden Herman Rosenblum explores layers of memory rooted in her past. In “Memory Network,” she creates objects from metal mesh, embedding schematic figures that evoke early childhood. The rigidity of metal contrasts with hand-applied paper layers that soften the grid and individualize each form. This interplay highlights the tension between preserving memory and blurring its imprint. Eden merges formal inquiry with emotional impulses, allowing works to remain open, tactile, and guided by both material and feeling.


In-Rust Series, 2022
A True Story!!!
 
It all started in an iron mining town in Sweden called Kiruna, which was founded in the 19th century. This small town holds one of the largest iron mining in the world and is quickly growing into a large and vibrant city. It included all the benefits that a city brings: a school, fancy shops, residences and a church that was built in 1909 which is considered the most beautiful in all of Sweden.

Kiruna continued to develop until one day they began to notice that part of the town was beginning to sink, yes, more and more of the residents noticed that their houses were sinking, until it was decided to invite an engineer who came and warned that the town was about to collapse into the large and deep mines. So they came to the conclusion that the entire city should be moved 3 km east. They started the work in 2007, the first building to be moved was the church, after that, a number of historical buildings were dismantled and reassembled, and by 2040 the task will be completed.
 
Iron mining is an operation of extracting minerals of economic value. When I first read about the story of the city of Kiruna, I was very impressed by the sophisticated solution, to think how much we humans can overcome any obstacle. But on second thought, maybe it was right to stop for a moment and listen to the cry of the earth maybe by the same creativity, determination and long-term planning we can and should be able to save our home - the Earth?!
