Lots_Wife

“Escape thy life; look not behind thee…” is the commandment issued by God to Lot and his wife during Biblical Times and the inspiration for this modern day sculpture. Both Lot and his wife escaped Sodom and Gomorrah but she could not resist the temptation to look back and was turned into a pillar of salt. To this date there stands a formation overlooking the Dead Sea which is referred to as Lots’ Wife. It stands isolated on a mount made entire of rock salt, where nothing grows.

The 53” tall sculpture is slightly turned, capturing a body in motion twisted in anxiety. The artwork is a reflection on ones’ ability to control temptation. Freestanding and accessible from all sides, the viewer is encouraged to explore the myriad facets of a moment of doubt, frozen in time.
