Artist

In 2001 Ayala graduated art department of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem. On the same year she won a two years scholarship from the America-Israel cultural Foundation, the Sharett Scholarship Program.

Ayala's current work focuses on sculpture and design, mainly in fiberglass. Her prime interest is with the concept of "a line": from traditional drawings to drawing in space - depicting volume by lines, thus walking away from the physical mass.

Exploring the concept of line had led Ayala to use fiberglass, a transparent material that enables flotation and the nullification of mass. Light is another characteristic of Ayala's work - with fiberglass it works as a sculpture tool to bring the piece into life.

The images in Ayala's body of work draw heavily on the encounter between her inner gay world and the strait world in which she lives, and the conventions it imposes on her.
