HONORARY MENTION
When / Syzygy / Tzvia / Ellazer
Elizabeth Rosenzweig-Knichen
Intention and Conten of my Computer Graphics
The overall intent of the work "TZVIA/ ELIAZER", "SYZYGY" and "WHEN" is to express the message of the struggle between the spiritual path of Judaism and the pull or assimilation into the secular world. The subject matter can be viewed in two ways-, literally of a Jewish struggle or more symbolically of the struggle of any spiritual practice and the secular world it dwells within.
The content of the work is Hebrew words and letters, passport pictures of Jewish immigrants and many abstract computer generated images. The viewer doesn 't have to understand Hebrew to understand the message of the work. He can look at Hebrew as a symbol for a spiritual practice and the computer images as symbols for the modern world of high-technology. Either in the specific case of Judaism or in the symbolic imagery the viewer can see the dichotomy of the spiritual and secular worlds.
