My Body of Work stemmed from my predestined intergenerational trauma of the Holocaust, an event that my 'bloodline' experienced but I did not. Rather than solely commemorating Holocaust victims, the universal title and subject allow for a transhistorical evaluation of intergenerational trauma among different cultures. The metallic ceramic sculptures symbolise human organs (kidney, liver, lungs, brain, heart) arranged in a ‘bloodline’ and metaphorically fragment victims' identities in juxtaposition to the old, rustic wood and recurring burn marks, conveying trauma. Moreover, the relentless attacks of penetrating metal rods, strangling rope and prison bars convey the individual's suffering. My work intends to be a beacon of hope for individuals affected by intergenerational trauma and illuminate the impact on their lives
