To create this piece, Eran Shakine collected left over cardboard from the Social Revolution Protest in 2011. Protesters spent nights in tents on Rothschild Boulevard in protest of the rising costs of living. After two months, the courts ruled that they evacuate the area, or else they would be detained. After all the people had left, remnants of their demonstration covered the streets. Eran Shakine gathered the used cardboards and created a chair which he then converted into bronze.
