On Friday afternoon, March 26, the day before Passover eve, a gala event celebrating the latest exhibit by artist Batia Shani took place in her studio at 6 HaPelech Street in south Tel Aviv.Shani created thousands of decorated envelopes, combining embroidery, sewing, and painting, and mailed them to addresses all over the world, some real and some fictitious. Over the years, the envelopes were returned to the sender, which Shani devotedly preserved. In the exhibition entitled "Signed & Sealed," for the first time, Shani presents the collection of envelopes she has accumulated over the years.Rami Mardor (Credit: Courtesy)
