In the introduction to Yona's paintings and

poems book 'Love Is Insane',professor Dan Kedar wrote the

following:

"Yona Levy-Grosman unites with the

desert. She is the desert.

The entrance to Yona’s workshop

It is this desert that leaves itsfingerprints on her works.

The topography of the fingerprintsis the desert.

A three-dimensional, many layeredtopography. A topography of crevices of rocks. Of ancient landscapes.A splinted topography.

Alone in infinity – kneeling before thebrilliance,

Gnawed and reuniting,

her act is that of Creation.

The desert winds join her in their uniquehum,

The thrilling desert whistling,

And carry it like a And carry it like a Joshua tree across Joshua tree across thetheopen spaces open spaces

And it floats and And it floats and createscreates its haven from the its haven from the sea of hardshipssea of hardships Creating the Creating the ultimate refuge ultimate refuge Closed inClosed in and attentive to and attentive to the silence of the the silence of the worldworld."."
