A Quiet Forest of Memory: Re’em Nova Party October 7 Memorial

In the calm of the Re’em Forest, surrounded by eucalyptus trees, a powerful memorial unfolds.

This is the site where lives were lost during the tragic Nova Party on October 7, now transformed into a place of reflection.

With art installation of flowers, symbols, and silence, every corner holds space for a name, a memory, a moment that will never return.

There’s no need for explanation here.
Only presence.

Each photo taken was with reverence.
The rhythm of the light, the repetition of red, the forest quietly breathing in grief and standing tall.
Some images are intentionally color-isolated, not for effect, but to honor focus.
Others show the contrast of life continuing beside remembrance.

Also included in this section is the nearby Nahal Oz Observers Memorial Monument, where history, geography, and remembrance meet in one frame.
A monument not only of memory, but of witness.

Looking Toward Gaza: The Aftermath

There are moments when you stand in one place and look toward another, not to explain, but to acknowledge.

Photographed in January 2025, these images look toward Gaza Strip, a horizon shaped by smoke, tension, and uncertainty. There is distance here, both physical and emotional.
A distance filled with complexity, weight, and unanswered questions.

This section doesn’t try to resolve anything. It only invites you to stand still and look.

The Car Wall Memorial: Fragments That Speak

At the Car Wall October 7 Memorial, rows of burned, destroyed vehicles are stacked and displayed, not as debris, but as testimony.
These were once cars filled with music, laughter, escape.
Now, they are frozen mid-story.

Photographing this site was among the most difficult.
The angles are raw, and the subject is sharp.
No effects, no dramatization - just reality, as it stood.

Each frame reveals more than metal.
It reveals what happens when ordinary objects become part of extraordinary pain.
It’s not spectacle.
It’s memory.

Why This Post

This is not a political post.
It is a human one.

Photography allows us to freeze moments: sometimes joyful, sometimes unbearable.
In this post, I chose to bear witness, quietly.
No captions needed beyond what the images already say.

I hope it gives room for reflection, for empathy, and for the memory of those we’ve lost.
May their memory will be blessed.
