On World AIDS Day, reflect on this Hanukkah lamp titled In Search of Miracles, on view now. In his use of test tubes for oil containers, the artist Salo Rawet associates the ancient miracle of Hanukkah with the search for a cure for AIDS, cancer, and other plagues of our time. The artist proposes here an alternative version of lighting the Hanukkah lamp, extending beyond the traditional eight days of the holiday to symbolize continuous cycles of the sun and moon. In this new interpretation, the lamp becomes and embodiment of hope and an expression of “human attempts to intervene and support the divine process of exuding miracles in our daily life.” -- source link
