Mixed Media Acrylic and Ink on Stretched Canvas
Artist’s Statement: This image is an expression of the first paragraph of the Shema, in which we are instructed to love G‑d.
The musical cantillation notes for chanting this paragraph are represented in my composition by the black right angle and the pair of dots.
The metallic copper color field represents the heavenly realm from where these words of Torah originated. The pattern along the bottom is the diagram for wrapping tefillin, which is also mentioned in this paragraph. One of the names of G‑d, is embodied in the wrappings with the letter “shin”, the first letter of this name of G‑d.
