Bracha Lavee is an Israeli artist whose expressive art combines Jerusalem, Israeli and Bible themes with a contemporary visual style which is deeply rooted in ancient and modern biblical experiences. Her use of felt in bright, semi-tropical colors allows her to express these themes dramatically.

This beautiful piece, entitled "ASHIRA" depicts the historical biblical event of the Jews crossing the sea. They seemed to have just finished crossing and have stopped to sing "Ashira" -Praise for G-d. The Israelites are accompanied by both the cloud that protected them and the Cloud of Fire that lit the way when dark. This print is done in typical Bracha Lavee style, using gold foil edging and outlining parts of the picture to give it that aura of mystery.
