Objects to protect against the ‘evil eye’ by Studio Dafi Reis Doron have existed in different cultures and religions since ancient times. These objects were used to protect from malevolent glares believed to draw misfortune. My childhood memories of wandering around her local flea market in Jaffa are filled with glimpses of evil-eye glass ornaments in aquamarine and cobalt.
Dafi Reis Doron designed a new wall piece to protect from the ‘evil eye’ in dialogue with those iconic objects. A look inside the blown glass will reveal an endless tunnel where nothing obstructs the gaze of the observer. According to Miriam Blich, a researcher in kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), reality is a mirror to ourselves, and the evil eye is an outcome of how we see the world. In times when we forget to look within and are constantly provoked by social media to see and react to what is outside, this wall piece offers a place to look into one’s self and be reminded of the power of the inner gaze.
