Beverly Barkat

Artist Beverly Barkat’s latest work, “Earth Poetica,” captures the world’s plastic pollution crisis. The artist hopes the massive sculpture, which will debut in Jerusalem, will “create some kind of dialogue that will enable change.”

“After the Tribes” is a bold, four-meter towering structure created from a wrought-iron metal framework—an artistic representation of the biblical priestly breastplate known as the hoshen, which was made up of 12 gemstones representing each one of the tribes.
