At kibbutz Nirim in Otef Gaza, My daughter and her family, parents,  3 children and 2 dogs, were sitting in the safe room 

Silently, without electricity, communication, water, food, waiting to be saved, while the Hamas terrorist

After very long hours, the terrorist have left the kibbutz, later on out come the reason, 

Colonel Hamami RIP, a brave

Officer, was killed by them and they were “satisfied” with his body being kidnapped to Gaza

The last year, at the shadow of that atrocities, this book was made.

It started during works on Woodblock and Lino prints, while I was processing the Trauma, Anger, and Frustration 

The call for - HELP - coming from all the people in the Otef, at that dreadful day.

The connections that was broken, other sternness , followed by the Chaos.

 

The book contains 3 subjects each have 15 postcards

​

- HELP -

- CONNECTION-

- CHAOS -

​

The postcards aren’t placed in certain orders, the viewer’s are welcome to arrange them upon 

Their feeling.

The book is dedicated with great love to my daughter family, Michal, Lee, Yuval, Noam, and Itamar.
