I am a gynecologist and treat children and girls who have been assaulted As part of my work, I am a member of the child protection team at the hospital that treats children and adolescents who have been exposed to mental, physical and sexual violence When I see a beaten child when he is sedated and ventilated in the pediatric intensive care unit, I take comfort in the fact that he is at least “sleeping” peacefully, even if temporarily I combined a picture of my grandson Daniel sleeping peacefully in my bed offered in crimson bed linen with an X-ray picture of Yosef’s broken hip – a battered child “Daniel’s Dream” sleeping peacefully unaware of the evil around him, an evil implied only in the color of the bedding compared to “Joseph’s Dream” a victim of domestic violence like his father The hand that is supposed to caress, comfort, hug and protect hits the unimaginable with cruelty

SOURCE OF LIFE #01

Artwork name: Source of Life

Artwork dimension: 60×40 cm

Triptych

Technique: print on silk, embroidery

The work examines the connection between the bruised vagina as the source of life and life saving which is manifested in the restoration of virginity and the creation of a vagina in sex change processes.

Amazingly, the vagina does not belong to the women themselves, it is controlled, managed, penetrated and blocked by the male hegemony, the social order and those with religious authority. The need to repair and save lives conflicts with the sense of injustice in the very need for these medical procedures. The combination between the bluntness of the images and the delicate and colorful tissue allows a little release from the feeling of frustration and helplessness and conveys a message of change. The artist’s use of the medium of photography and embroidery connects the professional and artistic worlds and illuminates connections of observation and attention to detail until merging with the object. In the work, from right to left, a word for women, birth trauma and the restoration of virginity are shown.
