One

Davar Collection

Inspired by the words of the Shema found in Devarim (Deuteronomy) 6:4, One reflects the enduring resonance of one of Judaism's most sacred declarations:

שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָד

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord is One."

Through layers of movement, repetition, and abstraction, the work evokes the transmission of memory across generations. The words emerge, overlap, and echo, revealing a visual rhythm that speaks to continuity, devotion, and belonging.

Ancient language and contemporary expression converge, transforming prayer into movement and memory into form. The composition reflects the timeless connection between the soul, the Divine, and the generations that have carried these words forward.

Woven through a distinctive style of interconnected Hebrew lettering, individual forms flow into one another, blurring the boundary between language and abstraction. The layered composition invites the viewer to slow down and discover meaning gradually, much like the words themselves have echoed through centuries of Jewish life.

One is a meditation on unity, remembrance, and the enduring power of sacred words, an invitation to listen deeply and to recognize the Oneness that underlies all things.
