Installation with water, film stills from 1946 and a poem
The installation is conceived as a space of memory and reflection. Photographs of war refugees from 1946 float on water - men, women, and children arriving in New York from Europe, many bearing the visible marks of trauma. The moving water evokes both the fragility of memory and the continuous flow of history. An accompanying poem by Jewish poet Irit Amiel (1931–2021) reflects on survival and renewal, the enduring line of life carried forward through generations despite loss. Together, image and text affirm resilience, hope, and the power of remembrance.
