1. Ezekiel’s Vision

In the prophet Ezekiel’s vision, four living creatures—a lion, an ox, an eagle, and a human—surround the divine throne. In Kabbalistic tradition, these beings uphold the very structure of the firmament. This image serves as a metaphor for transformation, illustrating how periods of upheaval can also be moments of revelation and growth. The four creatures represent the integration of various strengths and perspectives, underscoring the importance of inclusivity and collaboration. In a time of division and polarization, Ezekiel’s vision offers a compelling reminder of the potential found in unity and mutual understanding.

2. The Gryphon’s Warning

The mythical gryphon of medieval legend embodied power and strength in battle. Here, it attacks humanity, carrying a torn tree branch—an ominous sign of the destruction to come—as it collides with the knight. The eternal balance of opposing forces, inspired by Dutch medieval images.

3. Plastic Eating Enzyme

Plastic pollution is one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time. Because most plastics don’t decompose, they are accumulating in our oceans, threatening marine life, human health, and entire ecosystems. Finding solutions is crucial. Scientists have developed an enzyme variant capable of breaking down plastics that would normally take centuries to degrade—in just hours or days.

4. Care for all Species

Humanity has a responsibility to protect all life and ecosystems. This painting draws inspiration from the medieval Book of Maastricht, weaving its imagery into a powerful message. On the left, figures representing humanity blow a shofar—ram’s horn—sounding a call to action. In Jewish tradition, the shofar is linked to the Days of Repentance, urging reflection and renewal. To the right, representations of the Creator point toward the Earth, serving as a reminder of our sacred duty to safeguard the planet.

5. The World Rests on Three Pillars

According to the Mishna (rabbinic literature), the world is upheld by three fundamental principles: Torah (wisdom), spirituality, and acts of kindness—all essential for its existence. This painting draws inspiration from Pillars of Creation, a renowned photograph captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. A rainbow connects the pillars, representing seven universal ethical principles given to Noah and, by extension, all of humanity. These laws emphasize the importance of the well-being of all people.

6. Fish in Plastic

Our environment is being overwhelmed by waste and pollution, with plastics posing a serious threat to both human health and marine life. Sea creatures suffer from entanglement, ingestion, habitat destruction, and the spread of toxins. From tiny plankton to giant whales, the impact of plastic pollution is devastating—harming individual animals, disrupting entire populations, and destabilizing fragile marine ecosystems.

7. The Dragon Tree

Plant life holds great significance in the Bible. When the floodwaters receded, Noah sent out a dove, which returned with an olive leaf in its beak, signifying hope and renewal. The uniquely shaped and enigmatic dragon tree produces a deep crimson sap, long valued for its medicinal properties and as a pigment. When its bark is cut, a thick red liquid—known as dragon’s blood—flows from within. Found only in the Canary Islands, this rare tree is now on the brink of extinction. Inspired by the works of Dutch medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch, this dragon tree serves as a symbolic Tree of Life, evoking the story of the paradise tree of Adam and Eve.
