Symbolism

The Messiah and the Snake
190 x 260cm, 1979

Out of the eight-sided star the perfect roundness of the snake is penetrated ("eight" carries the symbolic value of the 8 th day of creation of the redeemed world to come)

Hebrew mashiach 40-300-10-8 and nachash 50-8-300 (snake) have the same numerical value, 358.
