Synthetic Polymer on Plexiglass 55 x 44 inches framed

This artwork serves as a commentary on the devastating consequences of the October 7 massacre and the subsequent retaliatory violence that claimed over 46,600 lives, including Palestinians, medical personnel, foreign laborers, and journalists. The stark contrast between the vibrant red background and the dark silhouettes of figures evokes a sense of urgency and despair, reflecting the chaos and loss experienced in the region. The chaotic landscape, filled with fragmented buildings and abstract forms, symbolizes the destruction of communities and lives. Historically, this piece resonates with the ongoing conflict in the region, highlighting the cyclical nature of violence and the profound human cost of war. The artist's choice to depict the aftermath in such a visceral manner challenges viewers to confront the harsh realities of conflict, urging a reflection on the moral implications of retribution and the need for peace.
