Boaz Vaadia’s work is based on the concept that man functions according to the same laws as all other creatures of nature. Therefore, the urban environment is not an artificial creation, but a natural habitat that man has created for himself. The power of Vaadia’s work derives from his respect for and extension of natural materials and processes including the slate, shingle, bluestone and boulders that he uses for his sculptures.

His sculptures are executed by handcarving each individual layer and stacking them until the piece is completed. Although at this point the piece will stand by itself, he bolts it together with threaded rods and glue for permanence and safety.

The connection of man to earth and nature is vital to Vaadia's art. By using the natural forces of rocks, his work awakens ancient “earth senses” that were slowly abandoned by man during his evolution to civilization. One way he makes the connection of man to earth and nature is by using the natural layers of sedimentary rock. By carving the stone, he releases its inherent energies. The resulting stone sculpture now carries a direct message to the soul of the viewer. “Man came from the earth and in death returns to it. I see stone as the bone structure of earth.” he says.
