River of Time
Rex Borgenicht & Jonas Wishnic
“River of Time” is a piece dedicated to the evolution of Judaism over time. Each pillar that shows a significant period of time within the development of a frog, also shows significant eras in the evolution of Judaism. The egg represents God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh. The tadpole represents Noah saving animals from the flood and taking shelter on his ark. The tadpole with a small resemblance of a leg represents Abraham about to strike down his son Isaac. The tadpole with more developed legs represents moses splitting the red sea and helping the Israelites escape the Egyptians. The tadpole with a shorter tail and bigger legs represents the 1st temple and the froglet represents the second temple. The fully developed frog represents the modern day practice of Judaism. We used mostly laser cut images and 3d printing filament to create our project.
