Sarah Levin
Eishet Chayil

Size Framed: 405 x 530mm
Medium: Watercolour and UV print on watercolour paper

In this piece, “Eshet Chayil with Pomegranates”, Sarah adorned the song with watercolour pomegranates and yellow seeds to honour the strength and resilience of Jewish women. Eshet Chayil, meaning “woman of valour,” is a traditional Jewish poem from Proverbs, recited to praise women for their strength, wisdom, and virtue. Inspired by this timeless praise, the artist’s work is dedicated to the courageous women who were hostages, as well as the mothers, sisters, family members, and wives of fallen soldiers, and to Jewish women worldwide who continue to pray for peace. The pomegranates, a symbol of righteousness and abundance in Jewish tradition, reflect the depth and unity within the community, while the yellow seeds represent the hostages from October 7th, a poignant reminder of those personally affected by the war.
