About this piece


In Torn from Us Twice, the artist uses pencil crayon to reflect the enduring Jewish longing for the rebuilding of the Beit Hamikdash. The two torn borders symbolise the destruction of the First and Second Temples, serving as a poignant reminder of loss and exile. At the same time, the work expresses hope and unwavering faith in the future rebuilding of the Third and eternal Beit Hamikdash. Through this symbolic imagery, the artist conveys themes of remembrance, resilience, and the enduring promise of redemption.
