Four drawings in this series are of the old Jewish cemetery in the artist’s native town in Ukraine – Chernivtsi. The cemetery has been long closed and is weed-choked. The drawings offer haunting testimony to how much the memory of this once vital Jewish community has been relegated to an almost abandoned past.
