Shofar Cry

Shofar Cry confronts the pain and suffering that has long been part of the Jewish experience, presenting a scene filled with emotional weight and spiritual longing. The Wailing Wall is depicted as both a barrier and a source of hope, a place where tears and prayer converge. The sound of the shofar represents the awakening of souls—both living and departed—calling them to reunite and seek peace. A trail of figures moves through the composition, burdened yet searching, embodying unanswered questions and collective yearning. The painting does not attempt to resolve this tension; instead, it holds space for waiting, faith, and the anticipation of the final shofar blast.
