“Unity Through Diversity” Ark (Aron Kodesh)
Dimensions: 220 cm wide x 90 cm x 320 cm high
Materials: Cherry, maple and purple heart
This Aron Kodesh was commissioned by a boarding school for underprivileged boys. They come from diverse ethnic back grounds, and difficult family situations. Over time they develop a sense of belonging to the community and come to see their schoolmates as family. This is the essence of the carving on the ark: each individual retaining his or her own identity while contributing to the overall sense of togetherness.
