Ella sees the body as an Political medium
She works with Sculpture and installation , performance a, photography and Painting in order to consider the realities of
Encompassing performance, photography, and interactive installations, Ella wants to make Her sculptural elements a more interactive, intersubjective experience, rebaling the passive experience , so instead she asking the audience to be actively involved in the work - by transforming her sculpture into wearable objects or opening peers to the viewer to enter them
In her multi-layered installations, Ella explores the ideologies of the past and how how they manifest themselves in our material reality.
Through a continual and vulnerable process, Ella constructs spaces and environments and creates interwoven narratives within them - that are translated from the material she is using. In her labor-intensive Auto biographical therapeutic processes, her Site-specific installations are deeply rooted in the social and political fabric of the spaces she’s engage with.
In Ella Taub's work, intricate layers of material are dyed and sewn repeatedly, almost to the point of becoming unrecognisable. Her installations are often closely tied to the space they inhabit, interweaving dramatically with their surroundings. At the same time, some of her pieces remain fresh and exposed—delicate silk threads and fine stitching give them an appearance of fragility, as though they might break at any moment.
Ellas creations are extremely labor- and time-intensive. Their layered materials provide a visual record of the passage of time during Ella’s creation of the piece. The sculptures also relate to time in the form of memory—the artist’s personal memories as well as memories these ready made objects evoke in viewers.

’I create social sculptures—pieces that don’t just inhabit a space but respond to it. I work with local materials, often symbolically loaded, that mirror the history, identity, and tensions of the place. The physical layers of my sculptures hold metaphorical layers, reflecting the complexities of identity and migration. by this i Aim to create a fragile fragile, quixotic entities that time can have its foot print on them.’
