INVISIBLE

WOUNDS

An invisible wounds is a silent echo of pain, a hidden scar etched deep within the body. It is an unseen bruise and a quiet ache that lingers in the shadow of the mind. These wounds, shape our stories as they whisper from generation to generation. They are the silent battles we fight, the unspoken sorrows we feel, the unseen challenges we carry with us.

I was looking for my daughter, 

I was looking for my daughter……..I could not find her anywhere, I understood she has been captured and held somewhere underground, under the earth that is around me………. I went quietly in the middle of the night to look for her. I walked till I found a way that lead me under the reath. I walked on and on through darkness and rubbles  looked for her, never stopped till I found her.


  

YOU ARE LOVED

פציעה

שבירה רמיסה

בתי זו שספגה את פחדי

עוד בטרם נולדה

באה לעולם מכונסת בתוך עצמה

חומות גופה ביקשו רק עוד ועוד הגנה

כשעורה בעורי נגע

אמהות מהלכות בשקט עם סודותיהן

המנטרה מחלחלת בירושה חרישית

בדממה גופנית

שרק אנחנו יודעות

עד כמה שברירית

ההגנה

ERASURE מחיקה

ERASURE מחיקה

תחת כפותיך הקטנות

הטמבורין נשמע בעוצמה

בתמונה צילמת את כל הדברים

הבלתי נראים

סבתא צופה ממרחק של חיים

מבינה

Did the Grass Stop Growing ? Presented @ CULTURAL TRUST DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH PA July 2024 in Part of ‘INVISIBLE WOUNDS’

Did the grass stop growing? - is an artwork that is part of a shared project entitle Invisible Wounds which deals with the ways in which past personal, familial and cultural trauma reemerge in the consciousness and events of the everyday. Did the grass stop growing is a screen print, relief print, video and audio work which addresses the theme of forced deportation (which is part of the family history of the artists). The statement "Did the grass stop growing?" is a comment on the ways in which the traumatic and mundane coexist in a psychological disconnect. What can be so deeply traumatic for some can be completely ignored by others. While people are transported to the their murders in cattle carts, did the grass stop growing?
