My grandma looked for towels to take to the hospital for my grandpa. With one of them she found this receipt still. The towel once cost 10.25 East German Marks.

Well, I decided not to quit yesterday.

Surrealistic illustration done in black ink and partially colored with colored pencils. You step into the woods as a full moon is illuminating the scene. A feeling of fear has you in its grip until you shake it to fulfil your full potential. Ghosts become sources of information. You can change your perspective.

Yes, that’s the ice of paper I’m working on right now that she holds her protest on. Luckily it’s only the sketch. #puppy

The moment everything is about the begin - and end.

Aviva Brueckner@avivavbrueckner· May 7

It’s funny to watch my pup with her carrot. Before she can eat it, it needs to be hunted. And when it doesn’t move, it is moved.

Written by the US officer who liberated the camp. (His daughters and grandson are in the photo here as is Yardana and Gilly.) The Bundeswehr and esp. Alexander did a marvelous job making everyone feel welcome and the moment commemorated properly.

Aviva Brueckner@avivavbrueckner· May 4

The former concentration camp where prisoners were forced to build bunkers for the production of airplanes is now part of the Welfen Base of the @dbwv.bsky.social. They maintain an exhibition in the one remaining bunker. Part of it is an artwork created by Gilly’s mom Yardana, inspired by a letter

Aviva Brueckner@avivavbrueckner· May 4

I’ve spent the last few days traveling to, participating in, and returning home from the event marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp Kaufering, part of the Dachau concentration camp network. I was invited by my friend @gillyarcht who took the photos.

The Black Bird Oracle by @debharkness.bsky.social x Remedios Varo. Page 24 representing the first part of Chapter 11. This is the beginning of Part 2 of the Book. #art #illustration #graphicnovel #surrealism #books #ADoW #bonering #family #reunion #griffin

Surrealistic illustration done in black ink, partly colored in pencil. Central is a doll blowing a horn and a bone ring threaded through with brown yarn. The ring frames a family that reunites in a happy hug. The two children dissolve into a griffin and a deerhound. In the background creatures assemble and only when looking long enough the lines of a woman kissing the palm of a man.

Who ran to help cleaning when the apple juice glass tipped over and had her hairdo ruined? Elsa. #puppy
