Remember, יִזכּוֹר 2023
When @udiurm and I started to discuss work for the @jerusalembiennale more than 6 months ago, I suggested this piece, which is a landmark childhood and teenage memory for me, but also a collective memory for many Israelis and Jews around the world. It is a Jewish custom to light a candle for the dead, and most of us grew up with these electronic candles as well. They were lit for our families, killed and persecuted in the Holocaust and all around the world. In my personal family it was for my grandparent’s who’s family was murdered in Europe, and for my other grandparents who’s family was murdered in Uzbekistan. Growing up in Jerusalem during the second intifada, these candles accumulated more death, as our loved ones and friends died in suicide bombings. Our way as teenagers to escape reality at the time was to go to clubs and dance our despair out. Our yearning for peace, our way to handle unimaginable amounts of death and grief. The flicker of the party lights in my memory, collided with these candles, anxiously flickering. This work became an uncanny reminder that none of us had wanted, imagined or planned. It is on view now in NYC at the Lauren M. Tisch Gallery. I’m dedicating this work to all of the beautiful souls taken from us at at the Nova massacre, where young people were dancing to escape despair, and yearned for peace and hope. May their memory be a blessing, Amen.
