Odyssey is neither resolution nor destination. It is a record of movement—psychic, cultural, and aesthetic—rendered through Azulay’s ongoing commitment to textile as a medium of both resistance and continuity. In its quiet complexity, the series honors memory, displacement, and cultural inheritance, offering a powerful reflection on what it means to carry history forward

The series functions as a visual cartography, where each composition indexes a different stage of transformation. Materials carry with them the marks of use and wear, embedding the work with lived time. Azulay’s process—measured, tactile, and improvisational—foregrounds the construction of identity as an accumulative act. The surface of each piece holds tensions between fragmentation and coherence, absence and assertion

Stripped of narrative literalness, Odyssey resists autobiography in favor of abstraction. Through repetition, variation, and interruption, the series articulates the complexity of belonging—how identity is often shaped by what must be navigated, negotiated, or remembered across distances and generations. The compositions emphasize structural rhythm and spatial awareness, grounding each work in a visual language that is both refined and materially direct

RONEN AZULAY

Ronen Azulay

Born Haifa, Israel, 1973

an Israeli-born artist, azulay stays true to his origins—where he comes from both physically and spiritually—while continuing to push personal boundaries by incorporating new elements in his work. Investigating philosophical and symbolic narratives about identity, shape, transformation and adaptation, azulay creates handcrafted one-of-a-kind textile works. His expressive, abstract, and figurative works often focus on themes like the past and the present, origin and migration, family history and personal identity

azulay seeks to contribute to a healthy cultural ecosystem that is focused on sustainability. Informed by his early career as a men’s fashion designer, his practice examines the role of the consumer in our world of mass production. Using repurposed cast-off denim, leather, and textiles, Azulay’s work actively disrupts the relentless cycle of manufacturing and consumption. With his technical skills and informed eye, he further processes and transforms the materials and incorporates found objects to create a new vernacular

living and working in New York City, azulay attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and built a career for himself in the fashion industry before founding his eponymous atelier in 2018. Azulay’s work has been presented at fine art exhibitions across the country, including art Basel miami. He has created installations for Louis Vuitton, saks fifth avenue, madewell and bloomberg
