The work includes a cast glass human back,
partly folded and rising from a confined old wooden box. The back is surrounded
and coming out of sacred parchment in the box from the Judaica Industry. The
position of the back is helpless, exposed, and vulnerable. The glass body
emphasizes the fragility of the figure and, when illuminated, becomes almost
like a ghostly metaphor for the human body. The work is presented on a low
stand, exaggerating the vulnerability of the back as the viewers are
overlooking it.




The figure speaks about the borders of human
existence, life, death, the sacred and the profane. It is about humanity’s
weakness, strength, and compassion as basic values.
