    Esh: Fire in Judaism 2015
    Each print 9.5” x 13.5”

    Esh is a study I undertook to explore the theme of Fire in Judaism.  After much thought, I chose 18 manifestations which wove a narrative from cosmic to intimate. The prints are all accompanied by various Jewish texts (Torah, Mishna, etc.) This series can be viewed as a book as well.
