Art Piece

Since both our resilient figures are Jewish, our piece of art is a Jewish Star of David, composed of two triangles, each made up of three roughly twenty-three inch wooden boards. Each resilient individual is represented by one of the triangles.

Moses’ triangle tells the story of his life, his escape from Egypt, and several quotes. It features visual representations of Moses’ enemies/enslavers, the Egyptians (a pyramid, Eye of Horus and model of Ushabti).

Peter Fritsch’s triangle tells the story of his escape from Vienna. It has a model of a train (similar to the one he escaped in) and, like Moses’ triangle, it shows representations of “the enemy” (Hitler and his Nazis): A swastika and a Maltese Cross.
