 Samuel Bak, "In this Direction"

The girl on this painting of art has Jesus's unkempt red hair. 

She tries to point the way to Golgotha; the weight of her grief severs her arm.
Spiraling behind her smoke, from the crematorium where Jesus would have died again. 
In the darkened niche, she closes her eyes, prays for history's resurrections.
 
 

With other paintings, such as “In This Direction,” I knew where the poem might lead. I “knew” that the naked, red-headed woman was Magdalen. What drew me to the figure was the shock of her severed arm. My body, my breasts felt similarly severed. When I looked closer at the background, I saw smoke rising from the crematorium and, given that Jesus was a Jew, I penned the line, “Where Jesus/ would have died again.”

Size : 60x43 cm

The reproduction includes a 5g transport protection tube.
