"Bridge Between Heaven and Earth" by Rita Adams is an evocative encaustic painting depicting Jacob's journey. A heavy staircase hovers over Bethel, symbolizing the connection between heaven and earth, with its top reaching Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. The artwork captures the moment Jacob rests in the desert after a long walk from Beersheva to Bethel, fleeing from his brother Esau and heading towards Haran, about a 500-mile walking journey. This piece beautifully illustrates themes of escape, divine presence, and the long, arduous journey of faith.
