These hebrew letters are the word 'achshav'. It translates as 'now, immediately, at once'. A cry for the immediate release of the hostages. I drew the word achshav as protest art...disordered, upside down, backward, detached and transparent. A sense of imbalance in the letters overlay image of the hostages. Their faces are ghost-like, deprived, suffering in captivity. The taking of hostages is a violation of international law, a war crime. Horrific to imagine how they are treated and whether they will survive. They are not forgotten. There is no rest until they are released by the terrorists' and come home safely. When is NOW?
