The present work by Israeli artist and designer Zelig Segal was created with great sensitivity to modern aesthetics, and with especially heavy material. Made through machining using anodized natural metal, Zelig presents the word that is so important and ever present in the Jewish tradition, especially in our generation: 'live". The letter "chet" is in silver, the letter "yud" is golden.

"Who is Zelig Segal? A man of contrasts: because Zelig Segal is an inventor, a man who plays freely, who is strict with himself in the reduction of form and matter. Zelig Segal is, at the same time, a visual rationalist...He is an artist who simultaneously seeks unity and division, permanence, and variability. But, above all, Zelig Segal is an artist enslaved to beauty, a creator who conveys in his designs the three classic principles of beauty – harmony in multiplicity, harmony of the sensory and the intellect and harmony of the infinite. " (Art Researcher, Gidon Efrat)
