The World to Come
The passage that inspired this painting is drawn from the Zohar, one of the foundational texts of Kabbalah. It speaks of the soul's journey through two worlds, revealing that life continues beyond what is visible and that every transition is held within the Light.
The passage reminds us that resurrection is not only a future event, but an awakening into a deeper reality. The painting invites us to contemplate the continuity of the soul and the possibility that what appears to end is transformed into new life.
English Translation
We learn that God created two countenances, and when the soul leaves the body, it goes to the two Gardens. There are two visions, one for the soul in this world and one for the soul in the World to Come. This verse carries secrets of the resurrection and elevates us spiritually, ensuring a Light-filled transition from this world to the next.
