Bechukotai

The concepts of blessings, curses, and rain, as mentioned in the Bible and the Torah, are open to interpretation—what may be beneficial for one can be harmful to another. These paintings explore the process of becoming more receptive to external forces, symbolized by rain. As we open ourselves to this flow of energy, we become more attuned to positive interpretations of the events around us, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and understanding.

Tabernacles

36 x 30 x 4 inches, acrylic on venetian blinds, 2022

"Focusing on the parallel paths taken by Samaritans and Jews, in “Tabernacles” Yona Verwer sets imagery drawn from Samaritan Tabernacle drawings in conversation with medieval Jewish depictions of the Tabernacle. She printed her two tabernacles on a vertical blind, so that each could be seen to varying degrees simultaneously— or separately." - Steven Fine, Curator, Samaritans, a Biblical People.
