"10th of Sivan, 5783," Limited Edition framed photograph
Artwork Details: 8" x 10" Photograph, printed on Kodak Metallic Finish paper. Framed in sleek 11" x 14" black meta with white matte.
Limited Edition of 7
I took this photo on May 30th, 2023, or the Hebrew calendar’s 10th of Sivan, 5783, in Jerusalem, Israel on tour with a private guide and archeologist at the Mount of Olives Cemetery, the oldest Jewish cemetery in the world.What is unique about the photo is it reveals an ugly aspect of Israel’s war of independence in 1948, when Jordan would occupy what became known as “East Jersualem,” not only barring Jews access to their holy sites, including the entire old city, but also the Jordanian’s documented desecration of Jewish tombstones in the Mount of Olives, using some gravestones to pave roads. What struck me about this particular moment, was the Star of David shadow cast upon the grave bed through the fence, marking this desecrated resting place with the symbol of the Jewish people. An unnamed soul, yet part of an eternal collective.
