Voiceless Witness - Nikolay’s home is falling apart before his eyes during an NOP renovation. The October events left destruction everywhere and the fighting in Gaza fills him with memories of his military past. To maintain his sanity, he adopts a rescue dog from Gaza. Together, they confront the harsh, incomprehensible reality. Tattooed4Life - Tattoo artist Liraz Uliel is a survivor of the Nova festival massacre, where 364 civilians were murdered. To cope with the grief and loss, she is creating a fractal design that represents the lives of the victims and inviting those affected by the tragedy to have fragments of the design tattooed on their skin. By engaging with the stories of others, she finds the courage to share her own and discovers the good along the way.
