ONE OF ONE
Botanical Art from the Land of Israel
COLLECTED・PRESSED・DESIGNED・ONE OF ONE
ONE OF ONE is a botanical art studio devoted to the traditional craft of pressing and preserving flowers. Each flower is collected by hand from the hills of Jerusalem, dried slowly in a traditional flower press, and preserved as the raw material for works of art that invite a different kind of looking. Amiyah Michaeli-Menashe, the studio's founder, draws her creative foundation from years spent studying architecture at Bezalel Academy and working as an architect in Jerusalem. That training shaped the way she sees: materials, layers, composition, and the quiet detail that holds a work together.
Real flowers from the Land of Israel. Each work is one of a kind.

From the Field
An invitation to go deeper.
These posts come from three years of working with pressed flowers from the Land of Israel. They explore the questions that preoccupy me: what happens in the encounter between a dried flower and a sheet of paper. The slow knowledge that builds in the studio, season by season. The gap between what botany knows and what art feels.
Notes from the world of a working artist. About the toughest periods in the creative process. About what the events of recent years brought into the work, and how they settled there.

"The craft of plant preservation has a history, a lexicon, and rich, fascinating sources of knowledge. In a time when our country is caught in conflict and hardship, Amiyah chooses to contemplate the original beauty of nature here — and to do something with it."
