Sitting atop this artwork are the delicate scrolls
of a secret Hebrew script Shema-Israel,
traditionally recited as a prayer for protection.
The prayer is carried and

bonded together, representing a journey
or ceremonial procession.
Peaceful and strong, it is an
object of fortitude and unification.
