Artist’s Statement: The numerical value of the letters in the Hebrew word Simcha—“joy”—is 36. In this painting I depict human positions that express joy, using the forms that those letters allow. I used India ink to facilitate the hand movement, as we see in Chinese art. The result is 36 figures with bones full of joy.
