The textile depicting figures descending from a mountain crowned with the image of a synagogue parochet, and a ram nestled among shrubs below, portrays a moment of collective gathering toward a spiritual experience. The imagery draws on the myth of Mount Sinai — approached not as a religious event, but as a cultural and archetypal narrative concerned with the human encounter with intensity, transcendence, and limit.
In the biblical narrative, the moment is described as one the collective is unable to contain, leading to rupture. This work proposes a reparative reading of that myth: a gentle, harmonious, and human-scale space in which one may approach a spiritual state and return from it without collapse or fracture. Here, sanctity is not absolute or overwhelming, but present as quiet, attentiveness, and movement.
The density of detail and the use of intensive, repetitive linework convey the emotional charge and ecstatic quality of a heightened state of consciousness, oscillating between body and landscape, individual and group. Printed on linen, the image gains softness and responsiveness to movement, introducing an additional layer of interpretation and allowing flexibility and openness to enter traditional narratives often perceived as rigid.
