Avivit Ballas Baranes depicts the crater of a volcano , entitling her painting Re ֳ ection . Is this a re ֳ ection of the dangers awaiting those who decide to live here , in this specific region , in the Middle East ? Will the earth open up and swallow us all ? Talma Nevo paints giant , black birds bearing blood-red stains in response to the war in Gaza in the summer of 2015 . Nima Ktalav presents a female figure called Noali with an arch of skulls over her head–a quintessential sign of death , past or future . Belle Shafir knits dead bodies in red wax threads ostensibly made of blood . Henk Puts , who for many years worked in a bomb shelter studio in Jerusalem , paints small signs with the inscription Fear Room in black-on-red in eight languages . Sophie Jungreis cites Adina Mor Haim’s poem , “ White Dove , " in black and red on paper : “ A white dove stands on my rooftop its cooing bears peace and its feathers war . " Moshe Gershuni created an artist’s book for Allen Ginsberg’s Kaddish in Nathan Zach’s Hebrew translation . Some of the sheets bear an image of a black laurel wreath as a signifier of the Greek heroes who returned from battle , and they combine gold leaf and screenprint . Tzofia Sophie Lunski’s video Chemoart is tied with her personal faith , which brought her close to death , yet she prevailed . The film features original music written especially for it . Lunski uses her hair , which fell out during chemotherapy , to trace her image on glass . The camera follows the drawing of the birth until it dissolves and the boundaries between life and death melt . The final scene portrays the hair blowing in the wind . Gabriel Klasmer pours ink on photographic paper . As usual , he leaves Untitled the questions about the meaning of the act of “ painting" in the 21 st century , and the interpretation of the Rorschach stains in the colors of the blazing sun and Mediterranean desert . ✦ Belle Shafir , Knitting Bodies , 2011 , wax thread , 270 ש 30 , Knitting Bodies , ריפש לב 270 ש 30 , הוועש טוח , 2011 < Nima Ktalav , Noali ( with Ovadia’s Dress ) , 2013 , watercolor on paper , 56 ש 45 הלמשה םע ( ילאונ , בלטק המינ לע םימ עבצ , 2013 , ) הידבוע לש 56 ש 45 , ריינ
