Preservation Notes
STATUS Physical work destroyed, no longer extant. Recorded 2026-09-18 on the instruction of Sky, PAPA: the artist's studio and home were destroyed in Israeli airstrikes and no physical work in this collection is known to survive. This record documents a work that no longer exists. SURVIVING RECORD, CRITICAL One digital image, 295 x 394 px, 12 KB JPEG. This is the weakest capture in the entire collection, by a wide margin. A 170 cm sculpture survives only as a thumbnail. It cannot support reproduction, detailed study, or condition reference of any kind. Treat recovery of a better file as urgent. DIGITAL PRESERVATION Highest priority in this collection. Ask the artist for any original camera file, phone backup, messaging app copy, or social media upload of this work, including lower-quality versions, since any of them may exceed what is held here. Check the artist's Instagram account, recorded on his artist page, for a larger copy. Store whatever is recovered as an uncompressed master with a checksum and a copy outside the Content Lake. MATERIAL RECORD Scrap metal, recorded in the description as 170 cm long and 60 cm wide, fixed and supported on profile iron pieces of various sizes arranged irregularly on a flat solid iron base of 60 x 50 cm. The dimensions field records 170 x 60 cm and does not capture the base. OUTSTANDING 1. A usable image. Urgent. 2. Base dimensions are given in the description but not in the dimensions field, which has no depth value. 3. Title capitalization differs from Hanging dreams II. The two are related works. Flagged, not changed. 4. The title carries a trailing space.
