Moses: The Young Prince

We associate Moses with such great events in the life of Israel as the Exodus and the giving of the law that it is easy to forget sometimes that he actually grew up and was educated in the Egyptian royal family.

The Young Prince (2005) (12" x 5 1/2" x 4" closed)

collage in wooden box



This multi-tiered collage is a reminder of the harsh working conditions imposed on the enslaved Jews to support the massive building projects of Egypt. The images come primarily from ca. 1900 advertising cards and an old leather postcard.
