The Dragons and Creatures Series: Sculpting Fantasy in Public Parks

Various Public Parks and Neighborhood Green Spaces Across Israel
Overview
The 'Dragons and Creatures Series' is an ongoing collection of site-specific public art installations that reimagine standard municipal parks as living fantasy worlds. Commissioned by various municipalities and regional councils, this nationwide project introduces larger-than-life, handcrafted sculptures—including guarding dragons and mysterious unidentified creatures. Strategically placed within residential and public green spaces, these permanent installations serve as captivating architectural landmarks that invite communities to step into a realm of wonder.
Process
The core innovation of this series lies in its sustainable engineering and ecological craftsmanship. Every mythical creature is built upon a hidden foundation of upcycled environmental waste, utilizing discarded tires and consumer plastic waste as the primary structural volume. This technique successfully repurposes heavy non-biodegradable debris into fluid, artistic forms. Once the sustainable core is shaped, it is wrapped in heavy-duty, highly durable materials engineered for outdoor longevity and safety, blending bold fantasy storytelling with environmental responsibility.
Outcomes
The final installations across the country have successfully demonstrated how public art can activate everyday city environments and turn quiet neighborhood parks into vibrant, eco-conscious community hubs. Rather than static monuments, these tactile mythical sculptures serve as interactive play landmarks that invite children and families to touch, climb, and explore. By visibly transforming waste materials into objects of beauty and play, the expanding series encourages creative storytelling, environmental awareness, and shared neighborhood joy.
