The Patriarch Abraham was ordered
to pass
through a set of animal carcasses
(Genesis 15: 7-15) to receive the frightening
prophesy of the Exile, not only to Egypt,
but to all the exiles (including the Holocaust)
that his descendants would suffer.

Terrorist
- Surprise!
The surprised face of a terrorist
who has just blown himself up
(and others as well)
and instead of entering a paradise with 72 virgins
finds himself burning in hell.
Perhaps my most macabre work
and one of my
rare political statements
catalyzed by the impossible & grim state
of affairs
in Israel & the world today.
mixed materials on canvas
