Handcrafted Ceramic Sculpture
Closer to Hashem explores the profound connection between faith, tradition, and spiritual identity through the sacred Jewish ritual of wrapping tefillin.
The sculpture depicts an outstretched hand and arm bound with the distinctive black straps of tefillin, symbolizing the physical and spiritual bond between the individual and God. The upward-reaching fingers evoke prayer, devotion, and the desire to connect with something greater than ourselves.
Through the contrast of delicate, organic ceramic textures and the bold black straps, the piece reflects both the vulnerability and strength found in faith.
Rooted in centuries of Jewish tradition, Closer to Hashem transforms a deeply personal religious practice into a sculptural expression of identity, commitment, and spiritual connection.
Each carefully formed detail celebrates the beauty of ritual and the enduring relationship between the physical and the divine.
