People I Saw But Never Met (2015), Zadok Ben- David
Thousands of miniature metal figurines depicting people Zadok saw in the street but never spoke to, this challenges the view of people we pass-by just being a backdrop to our daily life. I love the dimensional aspect of this piece and it's immersive nature as well as the figurines being like a photograph in that these people are preserved in that seemingly insignificant moment they were seen by the artist. It makes people seem valuable, I love people watching for much of this reason, not only am I intrigued but I like to think that everyone has value and try to imagine the good in them, I wonder where they're going, how their day has been and what they're having for supper. I'd like to think that when I walk past someone they may do the same, to give more sentiment to a seemingly minute existence we all share.
