Keren Shpilsher Presents her Backgammon Board

Make Love No War!

By using rusing scrape materials, found elements
and combaining them with funny drawings, the work gives a self translation to the absurd in our life - naive and childy and honest playing between people.
Kind of a contrast to the war situation
