Each God ordained love is productive in it own way: friendship produces the city, sexual
intimacy produces children, and parental love creates a whole soul in the child.
With multiple layers of paint, color and line, she creates an ambiguous space that affords the viewer an
intimacy with her subject matter and both obscures and recalls the pain it evokes («Pietà») In her catalogue essay, Tina Kinsella writes, «Bracha's recent paintings beckon us to reprise the work of mourning, to return to the grounds from which the act of lamentation arrives and to reappraise the particular emotion that the laboring through grief
produces... the Pietà always threatens to disclose this excess of sorrow by surfacing the penumbra of future loss that lurks in the heart of the maternal relationship between mother and
child.»
