“Let Our Light Continue to Shine”
“Let Our Light Continue to Shine”
This painting was inspired by a broken but beautiful ceramic plate by Tatiana Goldberg, a Florida artist. I was moved to use the broken pieces and create an extraordinary expression of rebuilding, restoring peace and redemption: This is how God writes stories. He takes broken vessels and redeems them into His glory.
Also this painting is my heartfelt prayer for peace in #Israel and for all Jewish people worldwide.
I was thinking about how it is good to recount good things and blessings and if I understand right, Hanukkah is about that.

This painting is truly special, not only for its subject matter but also for its execution. It stands as one of my most intricate 3D pieces. I used fabric, ceramic, and paper to construct most of the elements in the painting: the menorah along with the candles and the woman's clothing. This technique allows you to both see and feel the depth, as all of my art is designed to be touchable. Moreover, the message conveyed by this piece is imbued with hope, aiming to inspire hope within you.
