The work was created as a reaction to the aggressive policies that, under the guise of “the only middle-east democracy” fighting terrorism, caused a huge number of child deaths during the war in Gaza. The white-painted bicycle, the so-called ghost bicycle, is a global symbol of the run-over cyclist. The work places a quote by Guy Debord in a public space next to a white children's bicycle.

“This perfect democracy fabricates its own inconceivable enemy, terrorism. It wants, actually, to be judged by its enemies rather than by its results.
The history of terrorism is written by the state and it is therefore highly instructive.
…compared with terrorism, everything else seems rather acceptable, in any case more rational or democratic.”

“Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.”
