  • The Wailing Wall is a unique remnant of the ancient past.
    It has become a place of prayer and divisiveness as various dogmas collide and then Bak has totally disrupted how we view it.

    The Hasidic, fur-hatted face of the scholar emerges from the wall.
    There is a sense of an ancestor, but whose ancestor?
    The Western Wall is called the Wailing Wall.
    Or is it the Wall that Witnesses as history happens and recedes.

    A brilliant transformation or interpolation into this place.
    Also the strength and permanence of stone is telling.
