Inspired by my studies of myths, legends, and recent travels through Europe, 'In The Land of Yad' is a fantasy landscape where Torah pointers crown Babel-like towers surrounded by moats and rivers. The majesty of these structures are at once a reminder of our origins and of the complex and colorful nature of our Jewish identity. Beneath the sliver of a new moon, the tiny vessel with its turbaned sailors have entered this vision on their journey towards the wonder of renewed faith.
'In The Land Of Yad' is one of a series of ten drawings in the Magic & Mysticism genre created in 2003 for my solo exhibition, 'Visual Alchymy' at The Gallery In The Square, Pittsburgh. Each image is accompanied by its own descriptive verse.
