yumuseum:Andi Arnovitz created this artwork in our collection in 2009 as a reflection of the unease resulting from today’s political and social conflicts. It mirrors the tumultuous everyday strife in Israel, where Arnovitz lives and works, and the political and social upheaval which dominate and spur global conflict. It also draws on the pull that a mother feels to protect her child from these conflicts, thus, Vest for a Child of These Times draws its inspiration from an Afghan child’s ceremonial garment. The vest is embellished with various prayers and kabalistic (Jewish mystical) charms that offer a way of dealing with hardship, other than violence, that echo Arnovitz’s desire to plan and focus on beneficial, rather than, damaging solutions to conflicts. -- source link
