“A Quarter Ethiopian” (”רבע אתיופית“)

Moran Yogev is an Israeli illustrator and graphic designer.

“I studied the story of my grandfather’s journey to Israel and what it was like to grow up as a quarter Ethiopian in a kibbutz in the Galilee. I draw inspiration from nature, native art, and Ethiopian art in particular.”
