Drawings by Arik

A collection of memories and images

2022

A creation in which Haya'la Yakovovich Zach tells me about her brother Arik, who fell in the Galilee War in 1982 - a man of the land, and of life. I documented, collected, and wrote. I peeked into Haya'la’s DNA (through a microscope) and searched for Arik. I traveled to the window from which he looked (and her life changed), and I went to their seaside spot (where imagined him snorkeling, hearing him laughing). I listened to my children's breaths at night and thought about Miriam (Arik's mother). I learned the music he loved to listen to (Aviv Geffen's band) and the brands he liked to wear (Levi's, All-Star, American Optical). I collected a sample of soil from his home and saw the path from which he went to war.
