A new painting now stands on the easel: an eye open to fire, memory, and the long arc of consequence. It marks the distance between October 7, 2023, and the developments of July 30, 2026, when negotiations toward a Gaza ceasefire and disarmament framework briefly shifted the world’s attention toward the possibility of de‑escalation. This work doesn’t claim answers. It simply holds the tension — the grief, the politics, the human cost — and invites viewers to look again, and listen.
