Flag Series: Red Flag 2023-2024, 2024
In mid-July I soaked a flag in the Sennelier sanguine ink #270, a color I had been using since 2020. A few days later I wrapped it around my shoulders as I joined the “March of the Thousands” to Jerusalem of the anti-judicial protesters on July 22 2023. This red sanguine flag symbolized the divide and the potential dangers ahead of us. Only in December 2023 I first dressed the red flag with sterile gauzes in the studio and a few later with sanguine gauzes before starting the long process of sewing the scars on the flag.
