Mervat Essa
Palestinian ceramicist
Born in 1970 in the village of Jish, in the eastern Upper Galilee, only seven kilometers northwest of Safad, Mervat Essa studied ceramics at the School of Arts at Tel Hai College. In her artwork, Essa searches deep inside herself and designs her shapes and forms to make us see what can otherwise be imperceptible. For her, form and shape are the language by which she communicates her thoughts and her visual symbols combine to create a bridge between herself and the world.
