OUR TORAH SCROLL (II)
– "v'Zot haTorah!"

This series reworks the striking elegance of the Biblical text as written with ink on parchment in a Torah scroll. To weave the heartfelt affection we have for the Torah and her graphical beauty, I chose tones of red and red-related objects in the tapestries and as part of the tapestry names. Red is, after all, the passionate and the show-off color. Black touches accentuate focus and add visual intensity.
