  • We are all somehow connected. If the cup is half full or half empty, maintaining a tenuous connection is still important for meaning-full survival.

    We all are hanging by a thread. Also a reminder of the fragility of existence.

    The table and the jagged piece of stone serve as the place for the cup of life. The question- mark shaped handle of the cup reminds us that the World of Bak is a place of continuous questions.

    The stripe of the tallit (or the prisoner's garment) decorate the cup and its flying fragment. It is all somehow connected within the imagination of the artist.
