Norma Picciotto, In the week, digital photograph, printed on Elicobond, 100x70cm

"Who knows what is good for man in the few days of his useless existence, which passes away as a shadow?" (Qohelet 6-11)

The artist interprets the Qohelet, a senile work by King Solomon (III century B.C) in which is exhibited the fight between good and evil. It's an occasion to deal with the theme of the fragilty and caducity of human existence, dominated by chance and transience. In the picture, realized through a digital elaboration, are overlapped more photographs, taken in different moments. A row of vertical and horizontal tiles symbolize the six days of creation of earth by God and the seventh day of rest. On the left the ten Sephirot or Emanations, on the right a yellow rose on top of a ladder represents the honest person in Kabbalah.
