"Rebecca” is a plaster cast portrait of my oldest daughter, Rebecca, and it served as a study for a small and a large stone sculpture. Donating this sculpture of my daughter to Elem made sense to me as it is an organization that benefits youth in Israel.

About the Artwork: My western wall - I grew up in Jerusalem, a place where people fold their prayers onto little pieces of paper and stick them in a stone wall. This image is embedded in me. The big stone wall, bursting of little folded notes. Hopes, requests, and prayers,

About the Artwork: The Paper Works series of photographs describe the notion of "fear". This photograph depicts an open vampire mouth, with drops dripping from it. In fact, these works are a reflection of covers of Horror and Thriller genre pulp fiction books.

Past & Future in our Hands
2008
19.6 X 27.5 inch
Photograph, Limited Edition: High Quality unframed print, Signed and numbered 10/36
About the Artwork: Because the first major intake of immigrants was of refugees who were Holocaust survivors, Gillerman-Harel sought to connect the generation of the Holocaust with the generation of future adults who are native-born citizens of Israel. With an extraordinary blend of sensitivity and symbolism she succeeded in bridging the past with the future through the arms of Polish-born Auschwitz survivor Dora Dreiblat, born in 1922, and her great granddaughter Daniela Har-Zvi, born in 2007 in Israel. The infant's hand, stretched out towards the number on her great grandmother's arm, links the future, the present and the past over the flag of Israel, making the photograph a compelling historical document.

Pinchas Cohen Gan
About the Artist: Born in Morocco in 1942, Pinchas Cohen Gan is an Israeli painter and mixed-media artist. He immigrated to Israel in 1949 and studied art at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem (graduating in 1971) and the Central School of Art in London before receiving a BA degree in Social Science and History of Art at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (1973). His mixed-media works of the 1970s conveyed his sense of physical dislocation at being estranged as a Moroccan refugee in Israel; the human figure appeared as an essential element of this theme of displacement and homelessness. In 1975 he returned to drawing and painting in works such as Analogical Work on Computers (1977; Tel Aviv Mus. A.), in which faceless, generalized figures function as symbols in a non-specific space. From 1975 to 1977 Cohen Gan lived in New York, where he studied at Columbia University (MFA, 1977), before settling in Tel Aviv, where he combined scientific systems with introspective autobiographical references in narrative paintings such as the series Formula and Painting Confrontations (1982; Tel Aviv Mus. A.); in these works form and color, depth and flatness are interwoven as a means of binding together the figures.
