Украïна – Iзраïль (Ukraine – Israel). Wood. V. Osipenko (Jerusalem)

 

Inf.1: I fell in love with olive wood, it’s so beautiful. At first it looks unpresentable, but when you process and varnish it… My [Israeli] surgeon…

Inf.2: …who worked for three weeks in a hospital, which Israel set up on the border…

Inf.1:  …on the border of Ukraine and Poland – I carved this for him.

Inf.2: This is a person who is a professional surgeon, an onkologist-surgeon, who in his life had seen a lot of grief and horror – [upon return to Israel] he was simply crying…

Inf.1: He was crying here in Hadassah when he was telling [about what he saw in this border hospital] (UJRI_053_MOVO)
