Two (Hebrew) articles by David Sperber discuss a number of works of Israeli art that raise questions about sovereignty, including paintings from my Remembrance series. The articles were published on the week that Israel commemorates its fallen soldiers and celebrates its independence. “Four Works, One Question” – the article on the Shalom Hartman Institute website; “For you are strangers and sojourners with me” – the article on Erev Rav website.
