“On his way to blow the shofar in the Holy Land, Rabbi Wolf Kitzes finds himself in a mansion and discovers a long table. He is given the choice between blowing the shofar or eating a meal from the horn of plenty. Choosing the latter, he comes back home and realizes that he missed the opportunity to end the suffering of his people.” Drawing inspiration from the tale, Arcega creates an abstract representation of Rabbi Wolf Kitzes’ choice.
