Dimensions: Each sculpture 60 cm X 60 cm
Materials: Cherry and maple

After creating the “Raise Thy Eyes to Jerusalem” ark ( aron kodesh ), I was commissioned to create a series of wall-mounted wood sculptures to adorn the walls on either side of the ark. As background preparation for the drawings I met at length with the community’s rabbi to gain a more in-depth understanding of the biblical essence of each of the Tribes of Israel. Each wood wall sculpture is unique, yet they all share the same materials and overall framework, thus creating a unit whose impact is greater than the sum of its parts.
