Tefillin and Tallit
Today I am exploring with my eyes closed. I am feeling and remembering how my body reacts to the secrets of our holy Torah. I have never felt it so alive and powerful, like a beautiful trip inside my everyday reality. The power of being alone with God (Hitbodedut) is greater than anything. Rebbe Nachman wrote about this for a good reason. Speaking with God, I am starting to hear my inner voice and His guidance much deeper. Back then and also today, I go back and forth—getting closer and then moving away. This movement is necessary to bring life. Nothing can just stay stuck in one place. In my own unique way, I love to share a look into my inner world. I love to show that Judaism offers so much inner freedom. In my past, I was angry and I pushed it away. But through my healing journey, I learned that I have my own unique color. Through this color, tradition becomes a trip that goes beyond time and place, bringing eternity into my daily actions. This is an intuitive drawing with black pen of a surrealist figure wrapped in a Tallit and Tefillin. It is a gateway to my new connection and healing with my roots.
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.
