A motif Nachum has often used is the image of a child wearing a gold crown that shields his eyes (The King, 2010), suggesting man's blindness caused by displaced values and desire.[ citation needed ] Nachum uses braille text and ash in his "Fire paintings" (Fire, 2011). The works are made in collaboration with blind people whose fingerprints are left on the work, thus documenting their touch and leaving a trace of human contact.[ citation needed ]
