Description

“Anatomy of Introspection” is a dedication to the spirit of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, which celebrates the birthday of the creation and also calls for a time dedicated to introspection.  This art piece was created from some of the products of creation, and include the dust of the earth from which all is made (marble base), shells (inanimate) and coral (animate) from the sea, and the rams horn representing the biology of the earth aimed toward the heavens.

Rosh Hashanah is a call to  WAKE UP  and requires a time dedicated to introspection and also for action – a time to dig deep – a time to throw off burdens, a time to stop terror, a time to stop bullying, a time to repair ourselves and the world – tikun olam.

The shells represent the sounds of rams horn (shofar). 

In the art piece (reading from l to r) the single shell reveals the first  single long trumpet like note (teki’ah) of a welcoming announcement.  The second set consists of three medium, wailing blasts (shevarim) ― of a sobbing nature (next layer in the middle). Next are 9 quick blasts in short succession (tru’ah) ― an alarm clock of sharp bleats, arousing us from our slumber. The last – the rams horn – is a long blast (teki’ah gedolah)- a call to look inward at personal shortfalls with an intent to change for the following year.

The ovearall shape of the sculpture is a dramatic spiral upward to the heavens, but also a downward spiral to a deep part of the soul.
