Statement
God was not there that day. He hung His head in shame.
Never did I face so much fear and anger and despair. They murdered and kidnapped nine of my family.
Others were burned to death, girls were raped and murdered.
And still they hold the hostages, one was just eight months old. His brother too, age four. Deep in dark damp tunnels.
While we hid in the bomb shelters from their rockets and missiles and bombs. The refuge for our bodies.
And let art protect our souls.
Tamar, my ninety-two-year old mother. Macey, her loving carer. Dvora, my dear sister-in-law. Ortal, my friend. And me. As the sirens wailed, bombs fell and the walls shook, as ‘Play’ the border collie shivered in the corner, our hands flew. Calming hands, guiding needles and thread. Bright colors, crazy thoughts, odd figures, our minds aflame, seeking beauty, seeking solace. Shutting out the horror, we found new ways of seeing.This is our response to a world gone mad: sisterhood, humor, and beauty.
