Artist’s Statement: In contrast to other images of the parting of the Red Sea during the Exodus, here the viewer is not off in the distance, objectively watching people swarm across... The viewer is there, part of the first group, being asked to make the decision to cross and trust that G‑d will hold back the waters. Freedom is offered, but it is a scary unknown. One must truly abhor slavery, must truly yearn for freedom, to take that step. This piece requires a leap of faith and deep, subjective involvement, unlike many of my more passive, objective pieces. This work uses "painterly" effects to depict the almost violent power, passion and drama of the event.
