The exhibition provides a rare glimpse into the intimate moments of contemporary art that take place within the makeup artist's room, allowing the viewer a lens into the creative process from beginning to end. TEXTURES contains huge photographs of makeup works that bring together the worlds of beauty and art.

Shahaf explains, "The main motif in makeup work is material; the textures of materials and the differences between them form the core of this collection. The differences between matte and gloss/rough and smooth/liquid and solid, came before thinking about the result of picturesque and figurative makeup.

"Hila Elkayam is an extremely talented photographer who is responsible for the wonderful visual result of these photographs. She produced photographs of textures and materials, as they appear in the reality surrounding us, to complement the central theme of these works. "
