“One Kilometer, Four Seasons” examines how I evolved from a little kid who liked drawing to an author and militant media illustrator. My questions are essential, and my answers personal: Why I draw?

The lockdown and resulting kilometer-long walks that were allowed during that time provided the setting for this story. As Jerusalem’s four seasons came and went, my memories — both close and distant — met in the natural environment of my neighborhood.
