THE FIVE M'GILLOT (II)
– Inspired by the Book of Ruth: The Beauty of Biblical Minimalism

Short, to the point, and beautiful – the book describes the complexities of social organizing, referring to legal practices through the emotional storyline. It recounts universal themes like famine, migration, and the vulnerabilities of women and the stranger. Specifically, it records what Ruth, the Moabite, is best known for: kindness to her mother-in-law and choosing Judaism.
I have tried to capture the story in three colors only (two of them with a darker version): bluish-pink, greenish-yellow, and steel grey. For the most part, the colors themselves do not have symbolic meaning.
Intentionally, all but one tapestry have only one background color, and just one tapestry does not have the monolithic, two-colored shape – my chosen expression in this series for fusing text and visual midrash.
