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.

Size: 80×102 cm

Linen fabric, ink and embroidery thread.

An Artist Book

Background:

Transgender people live inside a body that have the biological stigma of a binary gender assignment. Some decide to take hormones of the sex they feel they belong to, and some opt for gender affirmation surgeries. Little is known about the Psychobiological mechanism of this phenomenon which is present in around three percent of the population. A distinct and quickly growing sub-group
is people defining themselves as non-binary.

Aim of study:

I suggest exploring the possibility that gender assignment and binarity should be flexible and changeable according to the personal preference.
The aim of this study is to find new ideas by using artistic research strategies to address the need for a more flexible and easier affirmation process.

Methods:

A gender research laboratory would be open to professionals from various fields: artists, scientists, and activists. Participants will get the chance to become familiar with embryonic sexual differentiation and hormonal pathways and learn the current complicated and demanding process of medical gender confirmation in details. Brain storming sessions will take place, and the audience begin experimenting with the theoretical and practical ideas to address the problem.

Conclusions:

I would like to challenge the current view and practice of the confirmation process, thus offer an alternative visionary approach. I believe
that combining art and science in the philosophical and practical way is the only affective approach to deal with the complexity of this critical issue
