British Mandate

Drawing the Line

Three skulls: the one that does not speak, the one that does not hear, and the one that does not see. The years 1948, 2024, and 1967 are inscribed on their foreheads. They are adorned with wigs made from British maps of Mandatory Palestine, updated in Hebrew after the establishment of the State of Israel. Between them, a blazing fire rises toward the sky.

Zerstört

The word “Zerstört” (destroyed, in German) is inscribed into the concrete floor. Shira Wachsmann tries, in vain, to eliminate it. The words “ort” (place) and “stört” (disturbing) are still visible. The destroyed is still present.
