Prophetic Visions
Journey After Death
The painting
suggests the "passageway"
through which the human soul traverses after
death.
Discernible are various geometric visages which suggest
a sensation of
spiral movement even when the painting is not spinning.
When the
painting is turned
the passageway becomes a vortex or tunnel whose
end point
becomes a gate of light.
The visages are those of the deceased relatives
of the artist
who are coming in welcome.
Seen through both lenses of the
special anaglypic
glasses,
the painting glows like a hologram.
Through the blue lens only, the
individual forms are delineated.
Through the red lens,
it all becomes
transformed into energies of light.

Jerusalem in the Utopian Era
The
Foundation Stone in the Inner
Sanctuary of the Holy Temple
is
depicted in this work as the nucleus of an atom, whose electron paths
circumscribe a messianic vision of Jerusalem. Discernible are the
twelve gates
of the city and views of the supernal and nether Jerusalem. Around
the stone
are clusters of figures representing the nations of the world. The Tree
of Life
pierces through the upper Jerusalem while its roots connect with the
nether.
The Temple seems to hover in space, awaiting its redemption.

The Tree of Knowledge
The
painting depicts the Garden of Eden made of clouds whose center
is the Tree of Knowledge, which suggests a brain, a fetus and the
mushroom cloud
of an atomic bomb. Various animal figures emerge from the clouds, as
well
as Adam and Eve and departed relatives of the artist.

The Tree of Life
In the Tree of Life the orbs or sefirot appear as galaxies
of eternal life.
The infinity sign is a central image in the painting
which evolves into
a Jewish candelabra and rib cage of Primordial Man. Banished from this
tree
in the dark corner on the left may be seen the small figures of Adam
and Eve.
