Artist Statement for "Gift of Love" Ketubah
Artist: Nishima Kaplan
Original media: Watercolor on paper
You and your Beloved share the fruit of your love in a symbolic garden reminiscent of Paul Klees artwork, bordered with a vibrant, playful African-print motif. At the same time, you continue to respect your Individuality, making sure that you keep in touch with your "center" - the black and yellow circles cradled and protected by your other hands. In the upper corner stands a fruit-laden Tree symbolizing the "fruitfulness" of your marriage, while in the bottom corner a hut serves as a symbol of the Home you have committed to build together.
