Menorah

 

​Materials:   Soft wax sheets ,  Cords  and  Glass

​

 

One of the observances in the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is to spread the rumor of the miracle. This is done by placing the Hanukkah lamps on the windowsill so that people passing in the street will see them.

I created a menorah inspired by this religious commandment. The soft wax candles are placed directly on the glass window. The candles are lit from the inside of the house and from the outside, they create a magnificent stained-glass image.
