Menachem Begin portrait series
These 22 portraits of Menachem Begin are not meant to be political statements. Rather, my hope is simply to create an authentic portrayal of Begin. The series is not finished, and might never be. I imagine I will continue my search for the essence of Begin. In the end I hope that I can add something to our collective memory of him.
