Womb or Frame
Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a sticker against abortions, and the sticker is part of his collection. We see an embryo in a womb, which has the shape of a Star of David.
The Star of David is used frequently as a frame for “important things” like peace, Zion, Jerusalem. This specific design makes you think of every frame as a womb, or the other way round: of every womb as a frame.
