Hidden Light
Givat HaMatos, Jerusalem
Limited edition of 18
Winter nights are long and dark. Sometimes, it is hard to remember the days full of sunshine. However, we have eight days of Chanukah within the winter that remind us of the hidden light that is beneath this darkness. This olive tree and the radiant colors surrounding it were captured just after the sun had set, entering into the final eighth day of Chanukah. Using a method of long exposure, which keeps the shutter of the camera open longer than normal to let more light in, these beautiful colors were exposed to me. This embodies an essential teaching of Chanukah: “A little light dispels a lot of darkness”. Within the dark night of winter, just a small amount of light reveals the magnificence of Hashem's creations.
