Varda Breger 2025 Civilization ignores the elegies of Mother Earth In my paintings and poems (in Hebrew and English), I explore ecology and social life on our vulnerable planet. I use mixed media, including transparent and opaque elements, primarily on paper. Streams of spontaneous running paint cages a blurred deer, rudely trodden upon by my shoe or a car tire. An elephant with a broken task emerges from chaos. An abused nude body of a woman, her head hidden with a fig leaf, and a knife and fork beside her to remind us of murder in the family. The threat of nuclear weapons is always on my mind (MSc. Chemistry). The atrocities and the cruel war in my own country, in Ukraine, and other places drive me to act for Peace with my humble tools. Inspired by the return of migrating birds at the revived Hula Lake, I wrote: FOLLY WARS Migrating birds, from north to south and back, season after season, millions of miles. No fuel, no flag, no borders, no God. Caressing the planet fraternity of feathers. I believe that all the planet's inhabitants are part of a chain, linked together, and We Humans must keep the future of our unique home, a planet of life.
