transformation
2007
wool tapestry
33"x34"
In this piece I am comparing the transformation of the moth from the egg, through the pupa stage, into flight, to the human souls progress through this world of existence. The walls are those of the prison cell, in Akka, Israel where Baha'u'llah was held prisoner, They represent the ability of our souls, to transcend whatever prison this world imposes upon us. they also represent Baha'u'llah's willingness to be imprisoned in order that humanity may attain freedom. In the same way Christ accepted martyrdom in order to free humanity.
