Operating in the field of sustainable home decor and specializing in conceptual design, material exploring, and story-telling through objects. Graduated in 2019 his Bachelor's studies at the Industrial design department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. A former member of the Bezalel Alumni Design Incubator 2020. Won the excellent scholarship of America-Israel cultural foundation of 2019 Inspired by nature and its phenomenons, the artist transforms natural materials and aesthetics into one-of-a-kind unique objects. In his works, Daniel implements his curiosity and yearning for unrefined aesthetics, and by material transformation and unique techniques he is developing in his studio, he shows how unattractive materials can be not only valid but luxurious. Elkayam examines the range between art and design by taking things in and out of their context, creating hybrids between different worlds of content, intervening in natural processes, while leaving a gap for the unexpected, the unknown. He expresses his inner world and illustrates his ideas by creating objects and experiences. Through his perspective of materiality, and empathetic vision of his surroundings, he developed an intuitive way of creation with experimental materials such as algae, corrosion, charcoal, and more. Every collection of objects expresses different material research and follows curious narratives and a variety of topics such as locality, transience, and decay of materials. The Charred Collection: A collection of handmade wooden objects inspired by one of the most powerful natural phenomena in our world, which is out of control. Today the percentage of fires caused by natural causes is significantly lower than those caused by humans. The huge fires quickly deplete the forests, leaving behind a particularly surrealistic view of a burnt, black piece of nature. Out of interest in this show was created the desire to preserve the unique aesthetics of the burnt wood and to express in objects the feelings and questions it raises as a raw material in itself. The same scorched aesthetic combined with everyday objects, on the one hand, serves as a mirror for the consequences of the situation we have created and as a means of dealing with its ecological results, and on the other hand, as a visual echo of fire intensity and aesthetic effects.
