Dozens of commandos from the Egyptian army’s 33rd Battalion were killed in the 1967 war at No Man’s Land in Latrun (Israel) and were buried in an unmarked mass grave. Their remains are still there, presumably beneath a tract that is now used as a parking area by a tourist attraction.

This series reflects my thoughts on the aftermath, based on a testimony of Ze’ev Bloch, who served as the regional commander. The site, surrounded by pastoral fields and plantations, has no visible marks. I express the horrible trauma with abstract images to reflect the absence of physical evidence.

The silence lasted for over fifty years, and the lack of political action in the field led me to this act of honoring the memory of the dead.
