Spanning a footbridge paved with timeless Jerusalem stone, A Sheltered Embrace serves both as a functional railing and as a profound artistic tribute to the Tree of Life within the Garden of Solomon.
Delicately crafted strands of metal intertwine to form branches, roots, and grasses, seamlessly merging into cosmic whorls that reveal Eden at the heart of a harmonious universe. In Jewish tradition, death marks the passage from one home to another—a return to the earth from which we came, symbolizing the restoration of peace and the natural rhythm of creation.
This intricate sculpture was commissioned to enhance the serene beauty of the garden’s flowing waters, swaying bullrushes, and dignified cremation boulders. It stands as both a metaphor for the tranquil shelter offered to those at rest and a testament to the love and care their families bring in honoring their cherished memories.
