01What sets it apart
Three claims no other metal sculpture can make
Most metal sculptures in the world are held together by welding, soldering or glue. Here — none of them. And that is exactly what turns every piece into a puzzle people stand in front of, trying to work out.
No welding
No heat, no electric arc, no molten seam joining two parts.
No soldering
No tin, no silver solder, no foreign metal flowing between the joints.
No glue
No epoxy, no silicone, no chemical holding together what the eye can't see.
A method like no other — in Israel or anywhere else
It is not a shortcut and not a gimmick. It is a complete construction method Michael developed himself, in which each part grips the one beside it by bending, weaving, threading and mechanical locking — until the sculpture stands on its own strength. No heat, no chemicals, and nothing to hide.

03The new series
Less is More
Few raw materials, one bold statement. In this series each sculpture is reduced to the line of movement itself — three or four parts, no more. What remains is only what the figure needs in order to move.
Only a handful of parts in each piece
At home in minimalist spaces and on bookshelves

05The home gallery
A photograph doesn't capture it.
The metal changes with the light.
In Gizo there is a home gallery where you can see the works up close, walk around them and understand exactly how one part holds the next. Visits are by appointment only.
