Daniel Filosof is a contemporary Israeli artist, developing a unique visual language that combines the abstract and the figurative. His works show a strong attraction to bright colors and rich textures, which create an emotional and immersive visual experience. Filosof often deals with the encounter between nature and imagination, giving each work symbolic depth alongside a meticulous aesthetic.

 The title of the work, "Self-Death," refers to a process called apoptosis, a kind of natural mechanism of the cell that allows it to "commit suicide" in a controlled and orderly manner, as part of the body's normal functioning. This biological mechanism maintains balance and eliminates damaged, old, or dangerous cells.
 "The plant, in this case, was struck by lightning, and it 'pulled' the damaged cells (the yellow part) into itself (the purple part)," says the artist.
 That is, death is not just an end, but part of a cycle of continuity - like in the sea, where the decomposition of organisms nourishes the entire system. A philosopher uses biological-marine imagery to engage with existential questions: What is identity? What is the purpose of momentary existence? And how does decomposition itself entail new creation?

 Daniel Philosopher's art is a bridge – between man and nature, between beauty and the duty to preserve it, between the open sea and the heart of everyone who observes the work.

 This work is being sold as part of the " Artists for Marine Mammals " project as a donation to the continued activities of the Delphis Association to protect marine mammals in Israel and educate the younger generation to love the sea.
