Description
“The Sacrifice of Isaac” was created first as a painting (48″x80″ on wood), then as an animated short. It features a landscape in ancient Jerusalem, where Abraham and his two sons are preparing for a sacrificial ritual by a small fire. The landscape of burnt olive trees represents the death of Peace. The flames in the sky are ignited by the destruction of the Muslims’ sacred mosque “Al Aqsa”, which stands on the sacred ground of the Jews. Abraham, the man, father and representative of the Jewish people, has been broken by the experience of constant warfare, and succumbs to Tribalism in order to survive.
I developed this series of surrealistic drawings, paintings and animations over the course of 40 years. I consider these works my most vivid day dreams, nightmares, and fevered visions. The works reflect the yearnings of my over-passionate soul: my fears for myself and my children, my neighbors and strangers, and all of the anxieties I have for this planet I call home.
