I was so impressed by the values I grew up with that I decided to express them through art. I created mirrors that reflect my forefathers, as in the idiom 'The Acts of the Forefathers Indicate What Will Befall the Sons'. The mirrors form a sphere, symbolizing the Jewish cycle of life. The words inscribed on the mirrors represent traits of different people, together creating our God-given identity. The night of Passover Eve, which we celebrate each year, is when we relate the story of our people: how God redeemed us from slavery, granted us freedom, transformed us into a people, and led us to Israel.
