About this artwork
In this piece, I embraced textures and time-worn stories, weaving acrylic, textiles, and reclaimed wood into a tactile journey. The assemblage breathes resilience and transformation, inviting you to feel the layers of history and hope. It is a self-portrait built from wedding lace, Tallis decorations, gauze, screen, medical warnings and Tzitzis strings attached onto salvaged wood. The cross form of the wooden panels frames the figure without containing…
her. The title is the whole statement. After everything the materials have been through, after everything she has been through, the figure remains. It radiates a raw, grounded energy that will bring depth and soulful reflection to any space it inhabits.

Credentials

Rivka Karasik grew up ultra- orthodox and Hasidic in Brooklyn. A life steeped in ritual objects, sacred text, and the weight of inherited tradition, and her art has never left that world behind, even as it ruptures and reimagines it. Trained at the Art Students League and Hunter College, she builds layered constructions from salvaged wood, found objects, and ritual materials bound by glue, nails, and thread: assemblages that feel less made than excavated. Her work sits at the intersection of memory and repair: textile threads suturing old wounds, collaged surfaces holding together what time and loss have pulled apart. After a long and frozen winter, she is creating again, and the work shows it.
