I love the story photography adds to sculpture. It can give a home to the wanderer.
Biblical romances happen around the well of water. Miriam was the woman whose good deeds kept the well of water following the nation in the dessert. In kabbalah, the well symbolizes the woman.
And the symbol of water is that of Life and Wisdom.
Mirrors were used by the Jewish women of Egypt to entice their husbands despite the exhaustive slavery... ensuring the continuing of their people. The very mirrors used to beautify the women's faces were used as the silver for the holy washing basin of the wandering Temple in the dessert...
What more can I do with water, with wells, with stones, with mirrors... and with the mesh of sculpture and photograph?

Just read a commentary this Shabbat about the Jewish people rising up in arms requesting the return of Miriam's well after her death .. and they got it. I think we need to take a lesson and rise up in arms for everything her well symbolizes ...life, wisdom, women, the return of life ... mashiach. That revolution needs to be enacted by every single one of us. And if we rise up in arms, we will receive what we fight for. Like the Jewish people in the desert.
