Tal Prissman
Hamsa Series

Size Framed: 460 x 610mm
Medium: Lino ink and watercolour

In this limited edition piece, “Hamsa Series”, Tal explores the symbolism of the Hamsa and its connection to the protective, healing power of prayer, using Psalm 20 as the central verse. Psalm 20, which Tal recites daily, has always been a source of strength for her, particularly in times when she needs reassurance and guidance. The Hamsa, a symbol of blessing and protection, is surrounded by the radiating contour lines, which carry the words of Psalm 20. These lines are not merely decorative but are meant to represent the constant flow of positive energy and divine protection that envelops the viewer. The repetitive rhythm of the lines emphasizes the power of prayer, reinforcing the message of peace, strength, and security that Psalm 20 offers. By incorporating this Psalm into the design, the artist aims to create a visual representation of the prayer’s protective energy.
