This visual sequence is in memory of the mothers and children killed by the Israeli military as it assassinated Nizar Rayyan in his Gaza home on 1 January 2009. (Read the International Herald Tribune article.)
The stone is one of a pair exhibited at the entrance of the In Flanders Fields Museum (Ieper/ Ypres, Belgium), which documents World War I. The pair of stones lists bombed cities.
I placed the boot at the bottom of this stone. The green tassels are numbered in memory of the four mothers and nine children killed in just one Israeli military strike.
