Special project:
Ghosts of War

At the height of a charged moment—laden with tension, doubt, and longing—Shifra Levyathan presents an exceptional, large-scale artistic project that spans the landscape of Israel's life from its founding to the present day. This is a moving visual journey that explores the gap between the great promises of Zionism and the crumbling reality beneath our feet. Through a personal, critical gaze—both loving and concerned—Shifra examines the traces of history: moments of glory and pride alongside destruction, erosion, and disillusionment.

The series is titled Ghosts of War—a loaded expression that fuses beauty with collapse, decay with a last grasp at grandeur. The work functions as a fractured mirror: reflecting what was, what could have been, and what stands before us now. Within the volatile context of crisis and uncertainty, Shifra invites viewers to look closely, reflect, and ask: what remains of the dream? What can still be saved? And what turns a ruin into a monument—of hope, or perhaps, of warning?
