"Bereshith" means, in Hebrew, “in the beginning,” and is taken from the book of Genesis. This painting is a portrait of the Spirit of God in the form of the words He is about to say, hovering over the surface of dark waters.
Gen 1:2 (AMP) The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.

Dalet resembles a row of abstract doors in a hallway or along a street and refers to lambs' blood on the lintel and doorposts (see Ex 12:22-23). It can include additional units as space permits. Also, one or more doorframes of the gallery or exhibition space itself can be included in the installation, if available and appropriate for the space.
I call this installation Dalet because this character of the Hebrew language refers to a door. It also visually represents a man bent over, as in servitude. This character is said to represent Christ, who bends to carry the burdens and sorrows of humanity.
John 10: 7-9 “I am the door of the flock. ...by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
