52Frames - Week 6 - Shallow Depth of Field

In 2014, we were so moved by the story of Nicky Imber, who escaped Dachau by impersonating a German officer, we bought one of his numbered sculptures at a gallery in Tzfat, Israel.

52Frames - Week 3 - Wabi-Sabi

Nicky Imber was a Holocaust survivor and created a series of sculptures entitled "From Holocaust to Resurrection" which are displayed in the Holocaust Memorial Park, located in Karmiel, Israel.  He further created a limited-edition numbered set of one particular sculpture. This shot is of the one we purchased in Tzfat, Israel in 2014.

We live in an imperfect world.  This sculpture of the collection, abtly named “Hope”,  is of a woman holding her child in the air and represents our wishes for the future.

Wabi-Sabi?  You be the judge.  I’m not 100% sure this perfectly fits the theme for Week 3, but as Yosef reminds us, 52Frames isn’t about perfection.

Ironic that this artwork is on a concrete bunker at the wall surrounding the Gaza Strip.

What Does It Mean?

With the recent elections in Israel, I'm sure this scene has political overtones, yet no one I asked had an explanation.  Any guesses?

Our guide Kobe was so friendly he would strike up vociferous conversations with everyone and anyone.  Were these officers a bit on edge at first?  Check out their right hands.
