Days of Awe- This body of work depicts a mind and heart snapshot of my impressions and conscience inquiry of the current state of humanity.
On Yom Kippur, "Al Chet" a communal reflective prayer of our confession of misdeeds and transgressions against humanity is said. Reflection and forgiveness have always been the key aspects of Yom Kippur for me. This year, the responsibility of inner ethics has never weighed heavier on my conscience.
The Jewish values of tzedek (justice), tikkun olan (repairing the broken world), and chesed (compassion, the opposite of cruelty) have always been guiding principles in my life and with hope as a discipline, I ask for all of us to embody these values for the better world we want our children to inhabit.
May we all embrace tzedek, tikkun olan and chesed in our daily lives, memories, interactions, posts, imaginings and dreams of the world we make better with every breath and thought.
