Katya Izabel Filmus

Katya Izabel Filmus is a Tel Aviv-based sculptor working primarily in kiln-cast glass. Her work explores memory, displacement, material transformation and the fragile architectures of personal and collective identity. Through mould-making, lost-wax processes and controlled collapse, she treats glass as a material capable of holding time while registering psychological states of fragility, tension and collapse. Katya studied at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and completed her M.A. at the University of Sunderland. She has taught and exhibited internationally, including at Corning Museum of Glass, North Lands Creative, the Eretz Israel Museum, Murano Glass Museum and Tel Aviv Artists House.
