Item Description
In printed form, this is a series of three images matted and set together in one black frame sized 13" high by 37" wide. It is accompanied by this quote from Rabbi Joshua Heschel: "Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.”
Becky Jaffe is a nationally known photographer. In her words:
"When I brought home a branch of wild fennel and stuck it in a vase in my living room a month ago, i harbored the tiny hope that it might contain hidden in its foliage a microscopic egg. When I discovered a plump line-green caterpillar (left photo) marching across my rug searing for fresh food two weeks later, I harbored the small hope she might survive long emough to pupate. When she folded herself into a tiny green hammock (middle photo) and fell into a deep slumber, I harbored the small hope that I might be present to observe her emerge. When I awoke on my birthday and found her pulling her last leg out of her decayed chrysalis (right photo), I traded in my small hopes for big awe. When she popped open her wings and sailed out the window a few hours later, I threw my small hopes after her and a caught a whiff of faith on the updraft."
