Diary: Sep. 16th '01, in Israel

Made during a September 2001 visit to Israel, this woodcut and silkscreen print carries the weight of its date — just five days after the September 11th attacks in the United States. Whether or not the image references those events, the date anchors the print to a moment of global upheaval. Noda's presence in Israel adds another layer of geopolitical resonance. The Diary series' commitment to recording each day regardless of its significance means that when history intrudes, the print becomes an inadvertent historical document. The woodcut-silkscreen technique filters the charged moment through Noda's established craft process, translating raw experience into printed form.
