Hasid and Hat

2015 · Plaster, pigments · 29 x 13 x 7 inches

This plaster piece, patinated with earthy pigments, depicts a Hasid in traditional garb. The side-curls worn, known as Payot, are based on the Biblical injunction against shaving the corners (pe'at) of one's head. The red hair connotes a fiery commitment to divinity even while navigating the rigors of modernity.
