Recently, amidst the missile attacks, I found myself immersed in my backyard, working on a rug that simulates a curtain, simulating a space that is no more.
A memorial space for the fallen: the back room in my grandmother’s house in Hadera.
The large rug depicts the memory of a back wall: a small seating area on a peach-colored carpet, an antique wall clock, and a large window, covered by an almost entirely opaque curtain.
My grandmother, who lost her son—my father’s brother—in the Yom Kippur War, used to tell me: "To lose a son is a hole in the heart, and the blood never stops flowing."
This 'rug-curtain' and the rest of the tufted rugs—bearing images of the Declaration of Independence, a KKL-JNF tree-planting certificate, a graduation photo from "Hadera" High School (Class of 1970), and a final sepia photograph from the moment of their parting—are drawn and unraveled by me with threads of memory. I work from behind, out of uncertainty and partial control.
Present in the space are also three blackout curtains, engravings on milk cartons dipped in blue ink, a stove made of black clay, and a burnt pita.
Through these acts of processing memory within the works, I attempt to reclaim control over fate—as my eldest son enlists in the army.
