About The Library Project
Human cultures have passed down accumulated knowledge primarily through stories, mythologies, poetry, music, and rituals. This library serves as a shelf that resonates with the fields of arts therapies through diverse forms of writing. This flexibility enhances and highlights the content, allowing you, the reader, to connect more deeply with what the text conveys.
This library is an open studio of texts and images for independent learning, guidance, inspiration, and writing. This kaleidoscope will expand and accumulate in Hebrew, English, and Arabic.
The texts and materials are sorted into six key topics, allowing you to easily find materials and content related to any topic or area that concerns you.
We are eagerly working on expanding the library and adding materials. We invite you to recommend relevant materials and/or send your text to the library.

Silicone in the Crucible, Niva Bar-Shimon
That long, transparent thing with its metamorphic container manages to astonish, every time, again. A squeeze of the trigger producing a bond. The cartridge, unwilling, is forced toward an unknown fate. Most often, it dances its drunken sway, spills out, loses form, builds slowly, then trickles and flows beyond control. Within minutes, it steams with gleaming vapors, slides from here to there and back again, grips everything and releases nothing. Or else, lets go all at once, failing to meet...
