This week, we are thrilled to present one poem and three visual artworks by Sivan Lavie. Sivan’s poetry is packed with imagery and unexpected metaphors, injecting both curiosity and humor into spiritual subject matter. With an emphasis on bright colors and geometric shapes, Sivan’s artwork triggers a nostalgia for childhood, and the pure sense of naivety inherent in it.
