thanks Bere, I am glad you like it
Stone Snowy Mounds
Mounds of dead soldiers
Grow from the white snow,
From Yanta and Amiq, Meducha and Baruk.
Wintry freezing water assaults the streams
By the villages of Ein Zechalta and Ein Tzophar.
Among the blackened cedar palms,
The bulldozers raise rocks
Above the dead who lie under the snow.
The spring grass, the memory,
Suspends this siege on the mounds,
and tries to see who once lived but now
Lies under these melting waves of stones.
(translated from the Hebrew by
the author and Ward Kelley)

Deeply thoughtful man, interesting idea with processing.
very blurry thoughts (will we attack iran this summer or this fall? which palestinian child shall I kill today?)
they better should read the old story of cain and abel (or of samson who, at least, made love with a (philistine=) palestinian girl, delilah )
Nice comp. Interesting effects. Well done.
