Reli Wasser- Dwelling Place For Peace
Picture is courtesy of Tzfat Artist Reli Wasser who loves the Magen David and integrates it in many of her works. Here we see the Star of David as a main object and in it we see a chamsa with a blessing of the house.
Flower Of Life

Dear Andrew Monkman,
Thanks for asking, but I know almost nothing about ancient (sacred) geometry so I don't know what do you expect me to tell you. I heard about the Flower Of Life, Merkaba Meditation, Drunvalo Melchizedek etc. but I have no tools to judge it. I'm interested in the origin of the Magen David and its various manifestations, but I didn't delve into the subject of flower of life and sacred geometry.
And then he wrote to me:
The Star of David originates from this symbol! If you contemplate the symbol - answers will appear.
I would appreciate your opinion on this symbol. It may be the root of your work! Thank you in advance.I told him:

We Shall Never Forget
Tzfat Artist Reli Wasser is connected to the Star of David and that’s why it appears so much in her works. I met her in the beginning of this month at the Magen David symposium in Yavne, where some of her Magen David works were exhibited at the entrance to the hall. This work is called “We Shall Never Forget”, and it deals with the Yellow Badge. It is published here a day after Yom haShoah Ve'Hagvura, Remembrance day for The Holocaust and Heroism.
