No Title, ink and chlorophyll (2021)

Post Scriptum
In 2021, Ruchama Noorda created this drawing, inspired by the iconic Black Square by Russian painter Malevich, a piece that famously hung above his bed during his lying in state. Using ink and nettle, Ruchama created her own version for the moment after her passing—far too soon on October 11, 2024, due to her illness.

“De tekening voor haar rouwkaart had ze al in 2021 gemaakt: een grote lichtende bol, getekend met chlorofyl, zwevend in een zwart universum van Oost-Indische inkt.” Janneke Wesseling, 11-01-25, De Laatste Bladzijde NRC.
