A New Heart
"Ve-natati lakhem lev hadash, ve-ruah hadashah eten be-kirbekhem; ve-hasiroti et lev ha-even mi-bsarekhem, ve-natati lakhem lev basar." (Yehezkel Chapter 36, Verse 26) An intuitive sketch I created during a year when my heart was crying out for renewal, to be reignited. A stony heart is rooted in the center, and from it grows a tree with branches spreading out in free-flowing lines. The diluted black acrylics move between precise outlines, delicate organic crevices, and soft shadow stains on rough, yellowish paper. After creating this piece, a deep connection arose within me to this verse. It was as if, from the subconscious, my request for renewal had already been conceived somewhere between those words—words that, to this day, feel like a reflection of my deepest self. Through intuitive drawing, my subconscious speaks, bringing to the surface wonderful stories I’ve heard in the past. Well, here is a small part of one of them: "There is a mountain, and on the mountain stands a stone, and from the stone flows a spring. And everything has a heart, and the world as a whole has a heart too. This Heart of the World is a complete figure, with a face, hands, and feet. But even the toenail of that Heart of the World has more heart in it than anyone else's entire heart." (From the Tales of Rabbi Nachman)
Ayelet Hashachar Amar
Ayelet Hashachar’s work grows out of her experiences with people, nature, music and dance, prayer and solitude. Her work moves between femininity and the body, bright colors and delicate drawings, and darker, mysterious images. She is drawn to different worlds that may seem opposite at times, but beneath their differences she feels something they share — a sense of life and a feeling that awaken in her and find their way into her art. Ayelet Hashachar does not try to show reality exactly as it looks, but to express how she experiences it inside herself. Through figures, lines, movement and shapes, she gives these experiences a form that goes beyond their outer appearance. She began making art at a young age; at 13, she held her first solo exhibition in Tel Aviv and studied at the Center for Excellence in Art in Be’er Sheva. For those who look closely at her work, it can become a kind of open book to her inner world.
