Camp Udim Farm is the family home of Emma and Ofer Shahar, founders of the design studio Craft and Bloom. This series of paintings was created using materials sourced directly from Camp Udim, shortly after the family moved onto the land and began bringing their vision of holistic living to life—growing together in harmony with nature, food, people, community, and beauty. The color palette, collected on-site, was carefully curated by Emma and Ofer to reflect the raw materiality of this new beginning.
