You ask why my nail is yellow. I’ve painted my nail yellow to #EndTheSilence about the sexual violence committed by Hamas against women, men, and young and little boys and girls during the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and continuing against the 130 remaining hostages. My nail is yellow to show solidarity with my sister’s and brothers, my family, in Israel. My nail is a cry of alarm but also a sign of hope. #EndTheSilence #Hadassah

Hadassah (@hadassahorg) is an organization devoted to helping women find their voices, especially now in the face of rape and the silent acceptance of rape as a weapon used by Hamas against Israel. Hadassah is devoted to speaking against hate and antisemitism and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

I feel very strongly about these issues and about this initiative. I painted my nail yellow and I painted five paintings reflecting this initiative. The proceeds from the sale of any of these five paintings will be donated to Hadassah.
