THINGS I DID

About Me


My name is Hadas Cohen, I’m 26 and I like to obsess about things I don’t understand
I was born in Israel and lived in a small town up north most of my life, except 9 years that I lived with my family in California.
I do hand poke tattoos and I think the fact I have really small handwriting helps with that practice.
Occasionally I like to write short poems or texts but I mainly scribble thoughts.
I spent 2.5 years in the design BA program at the Design Academy Eindhoven.
I recently returned to Tel Aviv to pursue my passion and curiosity for research, and words, and researching words.
I also have a lot of notebooks that I like to keep.
I actually never manage to bring myself to throw things away, I don’t really understand why.

In Other Words


I like to obsess about things I don’t understand

I don’t think I fully understand anything
But those misunderstandings are fascinating

How does reality translate into the mind?
What happens to reality, and how does our mind
influence it?
I understand the irony in wanting to understand misunderstandings
but I guess that’s what draws me to it all

There’s so much beauty in the vulnerability of things
So much honesty in the absurd
So many questions to be asked only to be answered with more questions

It all started out as a quest for finding truth
But somewhere along the line, I was confronted with reality and reality was confronted with my sarcasm

Now finding one true explanation for all my questions sounds like an ending to a fairy tale
The kind of fairy tale that a person like me would never be casted to play in its motion picture adaptation

So the winds changed and all the thoughts in my mind are blowing a different direction, that being everywhere and all around
Just letting my thoughts get carried away
Swept by words I’m so fascinated with, yet, again, don’t fully understand nor believe truly
Surrendered or devoted to getting lost in it all
(Depends when you ask me)

My thoughts take me everywhere
And I, humbly, try to formulate them into a language or a story to share

Constantly enchanted and frustrated with the reminder that words are futile devices



P.S. I have a poorly done tattoo (by me) of a question mark on my finger
