This work is a preparatory study for the monumental painting Judgment Day, exhibited at the Israel Museum in 2022, in which I reimagined the human, moral, and social drama of classical Last Judgment paintings.
By organizing chaos of water, mud, and silt in a world where God is absent, I aimed to evoke awe and a visceral, bodily experience—to create a universe without a judging eye, its center empty, where humans seek contact within loss of control.
I was intrigued by the bodily gestures of sinners cast into hell through water, finding them echoed in contemporary mud festivals. There, bodies fall, slip, and merge in a shared, sensory experience that borders on chaos.
