$6,000
Sitting atop these artworks are delicate parchments, marking the secret Hebrew prayer for protection, Shema-Israel. Carried by bonded clay vessels, it represents the power of prayer to unite. These artworks contain the meditative energy of a prayer and its capacity to support life’s ever-changing dynamics, comforting grief, and celebrating joy.
