Tzimtzum (Contraction of Creation)
mixed media on canvass
39"
x 39" (99 x 99 cm)
The process of
creating the world
was achieved
by the Tzimtzum or contraction
which is likened
to the folding in
of G-d’s hand into its palm
to create a “vacant space”
which was then
occupied by heavenly Jerusalem
and the lower & upper Gardens of Eden,
crowned by
three letters of yod.
The two menora forms
suggest the seven heavens
and the seven
lower worlds.
The nether Jerusalem
is the
ellipse on the bottom.

The alef
