ROOTS OF GOLD
Size Framed: 490 x 390mm

In this artwork, the artist encapsulates the timeless connection between the Jewish people and the city of Jerusalem, symbolising our deep-rooted relationship through the imagery of a majestic olive tree. Just as the tree’s roots provide unwavering support and nourishment, Jerusalem’s significance has offered us strength and inspiration throughout generations. Mirroring the intertwined branches of the tree, the Torah acts as our moral and spiritual foundation, akin to the passage in Proverbs 3:18: “It is a tree of life to those who hold fast to it, and those who support it are fulfilled and happy.” This serves as a visual reminder of how our ties to Jerusalem, the city of gold, and the Torah keep us grounded in our identity and heritage, guiding us toward a fulfilled and meaningful life.
