The Daily Postcard
by Shoshke

In the wake of the tragic events of October 7th, Israeli illustrator and comic artist Zev Engelmayer, known affectionately as Shoshke, embarked on a heartfelt journey of expression through art. Each day, he creates and shares poignant postcards that depict the hostages and their families, mourners, injured and fallen soldiers, and the eventual return of the hostages. Through these daily postcards, we are invited into the intimate world of those affected, allowing us to empathize with their experiences, share in their hopes and dreams, and even find solace amidst the vibrant colors and imaginative scenes.

This unique and vivid exhibition serves as a beacon of light and positivity during dark times, aiming to inspire hope and resilience in the face of adversity. By keeping the memory of the abducted individuals alive through his art, Shoshke's work serves as a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure and overcome even the most challenging circumstances.

“I draw them in a very naive manner. There’s innocence and a childlike quality here, something that resonates with the child within each of us, seeking to find goodness amidst all of this,” says Engelmayer. “The idea is not just to inspire hope but to keep the memory of the abducted alive- and I will persist until they are all returned.”
