Today!?

Acrylic on Canvas 30x30in
(wood and barbed wire 48x48in)

A while ago I completed this painting of three doves, reflecting three Beiti Hamikdash; two in the past and one that we are waiting for with the coming of Mosiach.
When I looked at it, it seemed too ‘pure’, too perfect, to reflect the hardship that we have undergone throughout the ages, it was missing something, it was missing the struggle of 2000 years.

On Tisha Bav (the saddest day in the Jewish calendar) I completed the piece titled ‘Today!? (circling the painting in a ring of barbed wire – not shown)’ Reflecting our hardships and our yearning to break free of Galut – Today – and bring Moshiach!
As the 13 principals of Jewish faith says …I believe in the coming of Moshiach every day…
