  • What do you need for a conversation? Participants.

    Bak’s are:
    The crumbling table
    Tablecloth or altarpiece
    Embedded Cup
    Impaled tea pot
    Empty chair
    Perched black bird
    Verdant sapling
    All within a ruin decorated with mogen david the 6-pointed yellow star and a backup star.

    What shall we discuss?
    The remnants of what was.
    Will any part be usable going forward?
    Who assembled these disparate pieces?
    Does each carry its own story?
    What is their shared experience?
    The painter of questions?
