My own private Roni

This is Roni. I found her in the garbage, on Nachalat Binyamin street, in an impossibly hot and humid day last summer. I was coming back from a media interview concerning the social rights of freelance workers in Israel, wearing a little red dress that got quite sweaty while I carried Roni to her new home. She weighs around 7 kg. I had a 20 min. walk ahead of me. She is the only mannequin in the Pygmalion II series shot by me outside of her natural habitat - that is: the window of a store. Except of her, I have never touched nor posed any of my silent Galatheas.
Roni still lives with us. Actually, she is watching me right now from behind while i write.
