Batia Holin’s exhibit on the sixth floor, “Dream. Fracture.” delivers an emotional representation of southern Israel before and after the Oct. 7 massacre. 

The walls of the hallway are lined with photographs that demonstrate Kibbutz Kfar Aza’s light and joy before the attack, while room 640 is filled with images of a devastated Kfar Aza. 

Batia Holin aims to display the terrifying truths of October 7th throughout her installation. In a matter of hours, what was once a vibrant, beautiful community, is now full of destroyed homes, families and memories of utter fear and despair. 

The “Dream. Facture.” photography exhibit has been visited by many students in the high school. Teachers bring their classes to this exhibit to showcase and discuss the horror and chaos that October 7th brought to the world. The exhibit sparked discussion and reflection about how these communities, which were once a dream, were fractured in a second.
