Gematria

Fascinating collection of artwork from David Singer, a Jewish legal scholar.

It is the Hebrew Alphabet, ina series of 28 acrylic paintings on canvas. The detailed pictography is based upon a variety of sources: Ancient texts, modern interpretations, etc.

The artitist's intention was to capture the deeper meaning of the Hebrew Letters and what they represent in visual form . . .

Alef1

The artists does other work in a similar style -- this one is called Tree of Life:
