mourning light, 2025

INVITED - WOMEN CREATE INTERNATIONAL LONDON 2025

invited - fallout, jewish art salon, philadelphia museum of jewish art usa 2025-2026

On 7 October 2023, Hamas terrorists attacked Kibbutz Be’eri, killing and abducting residents. Among those murdered were more than 100 Israeli civilians, including peace activists, children and an infant. A further 32 people were taken hostage.

Mourning Light takes the form of a flattened box, echoing the familiar packaging of memorial candles traditionally lit in remembrance of those who have died. The names of those murdered that day are meticulously hand-stitched into the work, transforming an everyday object into a personal act of remembrance. Each name represents an individual life, and together they bear witness to the loss suffered by the community of Be’eri.

comments

  • Another extraordinary work of art that brings one very close, almost as if to whisper its message. So much power

  • This is a phenomenal piece of work using the cultural key of the yahrzeit candle to highlight that a massacre is a massacre and can’t be watered down by taking a political stance. Apart from the powerful message your skill as an artist practitioner is beautifully illustrated in this piece

  • Profound, clever and moving. Your conceptual skills are second to none

  • Such a powerful and poignant work of art and beautifully executed

  • Your work is so intelligent, moving, important and powerful. I admire you as an artist and historian

  • Just incredible

  • Another powerful, poignant and heartrending piece of work, beautifully made

  • I’m almost speechless. Gutted that this piece had to be made. But, you honoured these lives, and did so with beautiful skill
