Artist: Gabriel Wolff
Five Works, each 32 x 24 inches
This series of five works draws inspiration from the iconic Israeli novel Yesh Yeladim ZigZag, a book deeply embedded in Israel’s collective memory and cultural identity. The artist layers a direct scan of the text with a self-created “faux Hebrew” script, whose letters resemble Hebrew yet remain unreadable, evoking a visual tension between familiarity and alienation. Part of the early 2025 exhibition "Lost Language – How Since October 7, 2023, I’ve Been Estranged from My Own Mother Tongue", the work was shown at the Waidspeicher Gallery in Erfurt, Germany.
