All who are hungry / oil on matzo

Painted from a photo of Palestinian families pressed against a gate, waiting for food. I saw this image online last April, in the middle of Pesach, when half a million Gazans were suffering from starvation. The first line of the seder: "Let all who are hungry join our table, let all who are hungry eat." Since, Israel has inflicted starvation on more than 2 million Gazans and killed >100,000 people in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

Seeking t'shuvah, I reckon with the history that created my life. I type with gratitude to my lineage who joined the world. I am held and nourished by so many people. Jews are not singular in diaspora; how many families of humanity have been displaced by persecution? Healing will never be achieved by segregating ourselves or claiming our right to survive as reason to destroy. We are made of the same light of life. Let all who are hungry eat.

7 years growing Love, you and me and us

acrylic and oil on canvas, on our bathroom, on trimming dead cells, on fur as a clock, on so much time as teammates

We've been calling this our cellular anniversary because they say all our cells regenerate every 7 years. Have all ~37 trillion of my cells transformed in our time together? I don't know, but I know we keep changing.

Uncertainty is the baseline. No distraction or pacification, we soothe ourselves with action. How?? I dont know, Trying, to learn, to will simultaneous tiny stuff, harness attention

Sick of skits and lies, romanticization of infantilization

Life is our time to bravely collide

Online as a way to tune in and beam out and I am wrong on the way to something better

gaslight

oil on cardboard, on trusting a story over your own senses, on how we become what we consume, on a delicate equilibrium of life under pressure, on the danger of bad chemistry, on how we spend our time is how we spend our lives, on a hot stove that can cook a good meal or burn down the house
