Helmet explanation:
I painted this helmet during a week when the Golani Brigade suffered a significant loss of soldiers. The object features images typical of a battlefield at sunset, with the olive tree—symbol of the brigade—appearing four times. The helmet, which protects the head and its memories, is dedicated to all the brave soldiers in the various brigades who risk their lives in the effort to defend and protect Israel and its people.
