Artist Statement for "Mystical Jerusalem" Ketubah
Artist: Nishima Kaplan
Original media: Watercolor on paper
Doves of Peace soar above a mystical Jerusalem where Day and Night exist in perfect balance and Loving Couples wander hand-in-hand along twin paths towards a star-lit Ocean and a Sun-drenched City perched atop gentle hills. Crowning this paradise are two interlocked Wedding Rings, symbolizing your union in marriage, and a Scroll reading "I am my beloveds and my beloved is mine" a quote from the Song of Songs. Below, twin shofars proclaim the Hebrew word "Chai" (life) while candles, wine and challah stand ready as symbols of the Jewish home you have pledged to create.
