Yakira Gischen
In Spite Of It All I Give Thanks
Winning Bid: R 4,500.00
Size Framed: 425 x 530mm
Medium: Watercolour
In this work, “In Spite of it All I Give Thanks”, Yakira explores the ever-present contradiction of the Jewish experience, simultaneous fear and pride, hopelessness and hopefulness. Painted shortly after the October 7 massacre and subsequent rise in antisemitism worldwide, the artist shows a gentle acknowledgement of gratitude in Hashem amidst the chaos surrounding her. The use of a watered down paint signifies the tears shed by the Jewish people, whilst the soft imagery of open hands allowing flowers to bloom contrasts this darkness with a feeling of hope.
