My Kids Won't Have a Dad
Guidance: Nomi Giger

Final project in the Department of Visual Communications at Bezalel academy.
My kids won't have a dad; they'll have two moms. As part of the journey of my wife and I to parenthood, I too embarked on a journey of farewell—a farewell to an idea. A farewell to the idea of a father in the home and thoughts about creating something new—a home without a father. In the texts, illustrations, and photographs, I wander between my own father—Buki Nae—to thoughts about the future and lesbian parenthood, about fatherhood and the father I might become myself one day. Throughout the book, I examine the place of men and fathers in our lives, with both their good and bad sides. The book moves between the personal and the political, between the private and the public in the figure of my father, between the home I'm building for myself and the world around it—the good, the beautiful, and the pleasant, but also the violent, masculine world that doesn't easily allow my wife and me, a young lesbian couple, to imagine a family within it
