"Shluach Hakan"

This painting portrays the poignant mitzvah of Shiluach HaKan—(original 20x20) the sending away of the mother bird before taking the eggs. At the center, open hands release the bird as it lifts gently from its nest, capturing a moment of compassion and restraint embedded within the commandment.

Set against the rolling hills surrounding Jerusalem, the landscape quietly hints at something greater. The nest with its eggs remains in the foreground while the bird soars freely, symbolizing both the human act of obedience and the promise of blessing attached to this mitzvah. The distant Jerusalem hills evoke themes of spiritual elevation and redemption, suggesting that even a small act of mercy can ripple outward toward a more redeemed world.
