Splitting the Sea – Ascending Light

A movement rising through light—
where the weight of the moment begins to dissolve.

Splitting the Sea – Ascending Light captures a refined and elevated dimension of the crossing, where the intensity of the moment gives way to a sense of release and upward movement. Created in Jerusalem, the work reflects the transition from tension into clarity—the quiet emergence of light within motion.

Soft, circular currents of white, pale blue, and delicate gold create an atmosphere that feels almost weightless. The sea no longer presses inward; instead, it opens and lifts, forming a space that feels expansive and luminous.

At the center, a collective presence advances, rendered through gentle texture and light-infused tones. The figures appear less defined, almost dissolving into the surrounding field, as if the movement itself is carrying them upward.

The composition suggests not only passage, but elevation—an experience that extends beyond the physical into something more atmospheric and internal.

As a one-of-a-kind original, this piece brings light and openness into a space. It often becomes a soft focal point—expanding the room visually while introducing a sense of calm, clarity, and quiet uplift.
