The work of art deals with the power of water to create transformation from one state to another. Water is able to elevate a person from a low state to a higher state in one moment.

The water that split in the parting of the Red Sea turned the people of Israel from slaves into a nation of freedom. Sages parallel this miraculous move to the birth of a baby.

The waters of the Mikvah transform the impure to pure, the Gentile to become a Jew.

The waters always descend from high above to the depths, and they themselves raise and elevate the person dipping inside them.

The word "water" – is written in Hebrew with the letter "Mem" in the beginning and end The gematria of the letter Mem is 40 – thus creating an internal connection between the word "water" and 40 seah of water in the mikveh, and the 40 years in the desert.

In the middle of the word water appears the letter “Yud”, which represents the name of God – Who connects the upper waters and the lower waters.
