​The 'and so forth...' painting process was inspired by the biblical story of Job, chronicled in the Book of Job. This artistic endeavor involved a nuanced approach, resembling  a visual narrative echoing the layers of Job's tale. The narrative was segmented into nine distinct chapters, commencing with the introduction of Job as a virtuous individual, progressing through the adversities inflicted by the devil, navigating the extensive dialogues with his companions  and concludes with the revelation of God. Each chapter was visually translated into a dedicated layer, meticulously captured through photography. The culmination of these layers results in the creation of the final painting, showcased alongside photographic representations of the eight layers at the exhibition.

 

I outline this three key points presented by the character "Elihu" to Job, which, in my perspective, encapsulate the essence of the Book of Job:

​

1. Cultivate virtue.

2. Embrace tribulations as valuable lessons.

3. The wisdom of God transcends our understanding. God's actions and the way He governs nature bear witness to His righteousness.
