Sukkot: 4 species poster
There are three symbols in this work: the lulav, the Etrog and the Sukkah, a festival of greens and yellows. The lulav is put together from the 3 tree branches: the palm, willow and myrtle. The Etrog is a citrus larger than a lemon but with all the bumps and textures of the peel. Over these symbols is the roof of the Sukkah made from leaves and etrogim, representing the open sky, natural roof and hanging decorative fruit.
