Heather G. Stoltz: Sewing Stories
 

Why?
(approx. 26" x 6" x 2")

This piece is part of a series on personal prayers. Inspired by Berachot 31b where we learn “Channah cast words to G-d on high," my Flinging Prayer pieces visually represent the prayers that I find myself casting or throwing at God.
These prayers hang from the ceiling, caught in mid throw. 

In August 2007, my 16-year-old cousin was killed in a car accident just weeks before beginning her senior year of high school. This piece features a picture of Alyssa, a picture of the billboard that warns teens to slow down and question marks asking why.
