Stones on Fires:Transcendental Textures

Stones on Fire: Transcendental Textures of
the Western Wall and the Flames of L'ag B'omer

From a series of paintings inspired by extreme close-up views; of the unique texture of the Kotel or Western (Wailing) Wall; rock surfaces "married" to the flames from the L'ag B'omer bonfires,; revealing countless visages and faces, as if the Kotel itself
acts as a spiritual camera "photographing" its millions of visitors.

In the center of the painting one may see
the form of an angelic Dove, suggesting
the above phrase from the Song of Songs (2:14).

finding shelter from its many predators and enemies,
by clinging to the Rock of Faith.

In this painting one can discover various emerging faces
or visages of women, as if the Wall itself has recorded
and absorbed its many female visitors,
whose prayers are always heard, because they come
from the innermost recesses of the heart.
