These Souvenirs, according to the artist:

… are mini-copies, memories of a trip, a stay somewhere, a moment. They come from a home, which they want to mirror, into a strange land: fragments of memory, chunks of yearning, signs of history, evidence of existence, knick-knacks.

Misplaced Price Tag

Photographer Naomi Tereza Salmon shot this photo, which shows a price tag near a Yellow Badge, and raises the troubling question if there is a price to the Holocaust or if every thing in our world is already commercialized.

Trust inside the Hexagon

Magen David trust Israeli artPhotographer Naomi Tereza Salmo shot this photo; it is part of a series titled: Black Box. The Hebrew words (trust, purity) that you see here have double meaning and make one wonder what happened to the Israeli society (represented by the Magen David)  in relation to core values like battle morals and trust in the State.
