ARGENTINA---The numerical value of the letters in the Hebrew word "Simcha" - "joy" is 36. In this painting I depict human positions that express joy, using the forms that those letters allow. I used Indian ink to facilitate the hand movement as we see in Chinese art. The result is 36 figures with bones full of joy.
