Sweet dreams, my baby.
Isn’t it what we all wish for our children?
When this wish was violated again at the summer of 2006 when a postcard created by the ministry of defense was distributed to our mail boxes all over the country, carrying the horrifying information that we have those few seconds to run for cover in case of a missile attack on our homes, all that being transmitted in a cheerful graphic design, and again this summer of 2014, this time carried around by the digital media each day of the fighting, I felt the need to express my feelings about the huge void torn inside of me.
That inspired me to create this garment meant to cover a baby in his sleep or decorate his room’s wall. I leave it for you to decide which option will make you feel better.
Sweet dreams, I wish, whoever you are.
