The Shichecha (forgetfulness) series of drawings was created for Sasportas's solo exhibition at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

It is part of a series of 49 works that focus exclusively on a single site – a swamp located in northwestern Germany – which has become central to Sasportas's work in Germany. This specific series depicts the gradual disappearance of various fragments of consciousness, akin to a slow, continuous process of forgetfulness. As essential pieces fade, raw and unprocessed fragments surface and embed themselves within it.

Sasportas continues to explore underground and subconscious spaces, where materials from a distant, ancient past emerge, disrupting and destabilizing the overall structure.

These drawings depict the space occupied by the swamp in the observer's varying states of consciousness. In some, the details gradually fade, and the viewer experiences a form of temporary blindness or a blinding effect through light. The traces of this blindness appear as black spots. The theme explores both the light of consciousness and the light necessary for drawing.

The drawings range from figurative depictions of the swamp site to an abstract process that obscures the concrete form, while expressing the sketching format of the page itself through black holes. Sasportas engages in an intense process of internal vertigo, where the viewer gradually disappears into the swamp, only to re-emerge in turn—symbolizing the fluctuation between defined levels: creation and clarification versus disintegration and dissolution.
