Sometimes I talk to the glass – and sometimes the glass talks to me. This glass suggested “A Primordial Soup”, a theory which suggests that Life began in a warm ocean from a combination of chemicals. But I saw something preceding even the beginning of Life.

From Genesis Chapter One: “When God began to create Heaven and Earth the earth was unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep… Then God said: Y’HI OHR — “LET THERE BE LIGHT” and there was Light.

Light symbolizes human-kind’s commitment to clarity, rather than mystery — to openness over secrecy — to study rather than blind faith.

I want to thank Brenda Supuwood, one of my mentor’s, at Universal Stained Glass for the glass that inspired this piece of art.

Y’hi Ohr measures 16″ X 16″.

I still enjoy exploring the possibilities of the image of the Hamsa. In this piece the figure of the doves is emphasized by the simple elegance of the transparent glasses.

Are you interested in purchasing this piece? Or perhaps commissioning one for yourself? Send me a note at ronsussman@aol.com and we can work together on your one of a kind piece of art.

The Simple Hamsa measures 11 X 14 but the size can be modified to fit your needs.
