Wire drawing in an old tree drawer. 2015

The drawer was found on Dizengof street, Tel Aviv in 2009. It was thrown away by workers doing some construction on an apartment nearby. When I asked them who lived in this apartment, I was told it was some old man who didn’t have any family in Israel. I took the drawer to my studio and after six years use it as a frame for my wire drawing. The drawing was made by a picture of my grand father who died during the second Balkan war serving the Bulgarian army. After exhibiting the work at Meshuna gallery in 2015, it get a different context. Suddenly the Bulgarian soldier becomes the jew boy from the Holocaust and I decide to use this mistake by calling the work “Not the boy from the Holocaust”.
