MIRACLE ON THE SEA OF REEDS

Description

SIZE: 40″ BY 22

Kir is reinterpreting the doctrine from the book of Genesis, that humans are made in the image of God and possess the Divine presence inside of their physical bodies – Divine temples. In this work, Kir is depicting a famous story of the miraculous escape of the people Israel from the Pharaoh’s army, on the bottom of the Sea of Reeds, which by the command of Moses, directed by God, divides its waters, allowing the Israel to escape on dry land. In this work, presenting the pivotal point of Exodus from the aerial point of view, Kir is reenacting the experience of the drama, for the viewers, from the point of view of Almighty Himself. We are to feel the extend of the drama as if we are watching a blockbaster hit, and Kir is hoping that everyone of us will feel as if we had something to do with the miracle. The aim here seems to be underline the vibrancy of the drama, and ultimately to urge every view to realize their own Divine presence and heritage, existing inside the temples of our bodies, just like it is described in various verses of the Bible.
