"...and I will betroth thee unto me, forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness and in judgment and in loving kindness and in mercies. And I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness and though shalt know the Lord."(Hosea 2:21-22)
The installation "Promised Eternally" is an interdisciplinary creation which fuses contemporary Art and Fashion design, material and spiritual, and the relations of Bride - Groom and the Creator.
The essence of the installation is the concept of the pledging oneself to the Omnipotent, and that the ultimate 'rectification-repair' takes place in this state. The Installation is composed of shutters of windows "found objects" creating a box like structure of tefillin that stands as the spiritual groom and the bride's home. From within the box of the tefillin slips the torso of the groom which transforms the person into the bride of G-d (the Groom), over his head levitates the "Talith" as a continuation of the bride's dress, its sleeves are wings and auspices the divine presence. Under the box: the rupture of the seven broken vessels and the seven rectified vessels.
When one takes a strap of leather and writes upon it Torah verses and winds up the tefillin strap around the finger, it is an expression of being bound to G-d, so is the ring on the finger that represents the bond between the bride and groom.
