Chrysler Museum – If You Thirst for a Homeland: Flame-worked glass by Dafna Kaffeman2021-08-12T00:00:00Inspired by nature, the art of Dafna Kaffeman conveys the complexities of life in modern Israel.

The glass plants are combined with Hebrew and Arabic words printed or embroidered on soft white fabric, including handkerchiefs which are often associated with Jewish cultural practices of celebration, commemoration, sacrifice, and mourning.
