A threshold rebuilt from what once threatened it

The Mezuzah of Hope is a monumental work constructed from authentic missile fragments launched from Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran, combined with a fragment of an Iron Dome interceptor. Materials originally designed for destruction are reassembled into a sacred object traditionally placed at the entrance of a Jewish home.

Standing one meter tall, the mezuzah contains a kosher parchment scroll measuring sixty centimeters, displayed within a transparent protective capsule. Embedded within the structure is the silhouette of the Land of Israel, rendered in twenty four karat gold leaf.

Placed at the threshold, the mezuzah traditionally marks the boundary between the outside world and the safety of the home. In this work, that ancient gesture becomes a contemporary expression of survival and renewal.

The work was presented in the artist's solo exhibition in Tel Aviv, and later in Exhibition 1956 in Manhattan.
