Farewell Letter | Itamar Mizrahi | Solo Exhibition

Curator | Marina Pozner

​

Farewell Letter is a solo exhibition by Itamar Mizrahi, created in memory of his grandmother Varda Harmati, who was murdered in Kibbutz Re’im on October 7.

Developed over 12 intensive days inside her home, preserved as it remained, the exhibition emerged through a daily ritual of movement, sound, fabric, paint, and instinctive action. Working within the charged intimacy of the space, Mizrahi used the body as both instrument and archive—leaving gestures, traces, and impressions shaped by grief, memory, and presence.

Sheets, personal textiles, found materials, and large-scale canvases became surfaces for transformation. Each work was created in direct dialogue with the emotional reality of the day, allowing mourning to shift into form, rhythm, and image.

Drawing from Mizrahi’s multidisciplinary background in fashion, performance, and visual art, Farewell Letter moves between vulnerability and strength, loss and renewal. The exhibition also includes works by Varda Harmati, creating a poignant dialogue between generations, where absence becomes continuity and memory becomes living material.
