Description

278 pages. Illustrations. The sacred texts and the artwork surrounding the texts were dedicated to women around the world of every race, religion and creed. Inside the cover of the book is a drawing of Mother and Child. The artwork consists of a hand bound sacred text written in Aramaic language well over 2000 years ago. The text speaks about the 70 corrections that a soul must make before reaching Nirvana. The pages of the hand bound book are in silver and the ancient text was printed by computer on the silver pages. The book is surrounded by The Tablets which were sculpted from a solid block of aluminum in Zurich Switzerland with computer renderings and technological processes, designed with Hebrew letters that spell out “Light." The cover of the book is handmade with silver leather and emboldened on the cover is "The Tree of Life" in LED lights. Within each of the 10 discs of LED lights making up the Tree of Life are 7 lights depicting the 70 corrections of the soul. The LED lights are programmed with software code for random patterning of these lights. The light emulating from the cover depicts unity, unconditional love and peace for the world. The artwork which was produced in the 21st Century with 21st Century tools gives the still relevant message of over 2000 years ago from the sacred text, Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself.
