Installation the Wailing Wall – is an allusion to the wall with the same name in Jerusalem. It is an attempt to reflect and understand what is a diminishing, “cuckoo syndrome” that it experiencing nation goes through. What is cuckoo bird saying?… What does “ku ku” mean to everyone who hears it? Does everyone hear this sound at the same time and in the same way? Do they hear it at all?… What should be done with it?… To be concerned, scared, or to prohibit something?… Or just to concentrate, be thankful for the given time and place to live, for the opportunity to believe, do not lose hope…
