The beaches of my childhood, my family, my Mom and Dad, my uncles and aunts. In fact, the beach is everyone's. The same sea. The same vistas. The same smells. The same sand. The same childhood and youth. And four kids - aged 9, 10, and 11 - are dead. In my works, I chose do sink and drown them all in the Mediterranean Sea - perhaps because of the shame, perhaps to purge and cleanse them in the sea water, or maybe to kill the kids, my family members, the works of art, and then to revive them on my canvasses. To kill and revive. Yossi Waxman - Artist, Writer and Designer Waxman was born in Jaffa and raised in Jerusalem.
