Hashkivenu (2010). Mixed media. 25” x 17” x 17.” Hashkivenu reads as a miniature model of a memorial for the Jungfernhof concentration camp. I hope to create an aesthetic and sacred space for commemoration. Working directly with the land, the site of murder is symbolically transposed into a place of safety and protection.
