A video sculpture that tries to portray the concept of body and soul in Judaism through the usage of projection over a manikin and audio.
"While the soul wants to reach for spiritual ecstasy, the body needs to eat and sleep. To the body, the soul is initially a nuisance, a conscience, that is always limiting the bodys behavior.
Why would G-d create the potential for such a conflict? Because the soul needs to be challenged and the body refined, and the tension between them ultimately brings out the best in both. Ultimately, the body and the soul must realize that they are each stronger with each other than without. It is the very resistance of the body that brings out the creativity of the soul, while the souls guidance allows the body to use its strength for the good. A rushing river has a certain amount of energy, but when the river is dammed and that energy is harnessed, it is multiplied many, many times over."
