I drew this piece because I believe that it has a lot of meaning behind it. You see a young boy praying at the Kotel, but more is behind it. Every piece of paper represents the number of hostages that were captured, and it includes their names. These hostages mean a lot to me, and I think that everyone who lives in Israel has gone to the Kotel to pray for their return. I drew the Kotel because, to me, it symbolizes that Israel is Holy. I am praying for the hostages to be returned home. Every piece of paper represents the number of hostages that were captured, and it includes their names. Current events inspired me.
