"Birds are free. I am not."
In her new solo exhibition, This Must Be The Place, Sarit Filer Manoach explores the tension between shelter and home. Through a combination of painting, sculpture, and installation, the exhibition traces the layers of memory and place. Returning to the forest and the raw material, Sarit questions the spaces we occupy in the world and the boundaries of our own freedom.
Curator's Note
In the exhibition "This Must Be The Place", Sarit Filer Manoach positions material memory mechanisms—drawers, mailboxes, and photographs—as part of a personal and collective archive. Each object serves as a gateway to an incomplete memory, to longing and absence, and at times, to the void that remains after the object itself has vanished.
The works examine the home as a space of consciousness, an arena of organization, loss, and renewal. It is a wandering between past and present, between the order promised by the archive and the uncertainty brought by forgetfulness.

The Collection
"We are all second generation."
In this intimate conversation, Sarit touches upon the collective Israeli wound. It is not a matter of lineage, but of shared destiny—from the sirens in kindergarten to the realities of today. A reflection on how history is etched into our daily lives, and how the echoes of the past shape our present view of home and safety.
"Mistakes Make Art"
"The human soul is entirely free, and creativity cannot be policed. In this insight, Sarit explores the power of the unplanned. She argues that errors are not failures, but the very essence of art. While the digital world strives for perfection, the soul finds its true voice in the mistakes—in the places where there are no words and no definitions."
