Blackfield - 2008, Zadok ben David

Zadok ben David is an Israeli artist that works with sculpture big or small. His series Blackfeild is made up of hundreds of sculptured flowers embedded into sand. On one side the flowers are painted black and on the other is full colour. The sculptures are only a few centimetres high and resemble the hight of a real garden of flowers. 
The work looks at the ideas of human behaviour and feeling's, the black is one side of our self's while the colour is the other. 
"It's a metaphor for human behaviour and feeling. In hard times, it's easy to see the world as black and depressing, but with a little effort, if we view things from a different angle, we can find the same world much more positive and optimistic" - Zadok Ben David.
