The Midrash teaches us that there are 10 different expressions of prayer. As one delves deeper into one’s heart and soul, a deeper expression of prayer is achieved.
The most basic form of prayer is Shav’ah, a burning desire of Prayer. In the painting titled "A longing for G-d", the artist creates a somewhat simplified composition depicting a rectangular window from which a spiritual light emanates. The light bursting forth may be the the light and spirit in one's heart and mind (tefillin) or perhaps a window from the Beit Hamikdash from which the entire world received its spiritual light.
