Many Waters - This Ketuba is imbued with romanticism which visually embodies the message of the verse on which it is based: “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.” (Song of Songs: Chapter 8, Verse 7). Water is the symbol of the source of life in all literary texts. The scarcity of water is used to express the fact that even this valuable liquid, used in large quantities in order to attempt to quench love, is destined to failure, because the love of this future married couple is stronger than ever.
All of Tamar’s Ketubas are printed in silkscreen using 15 – 25 color separations (each color is printed separately) on Arches paper. The landscape and animal imagery, together with the vivid colors and light in Tamar’s work are a reflection of the artist’s imagination and influence of the Holy Land from which these Ketubas originate. Japanese paper cut technique has been used in order to achieve the unique and rich appearance.
