Shabbat Shalom: Anne Fard 

‘Shabbat Shalom’ is an exploration of my Jewishness and how the practice of ‘peaceful rest’ is unique to me.

Type of Exhibition: Art

‘Shabbat Shalom’ is an exploration of my Jewishness and how the practice of ‘peaceful rest’ is unique to me. Born in Manila, Philippines to a Persian father and a Spanish-Filipina mother with Jewish ancestry, the Sabbath, and having a day of rest with my family has been a central part of my life. Sabbath has also held special meaning to me as it resembles the last name of my mother’s family, ‘Sabat’. These works take you on a journey through the lens and heart of a young girl named Shanzie. Each piece is an exploration of vibrant worlds or ‘seeds’ with text encourages a moment of rest, devotion, and renewal. As the demands and bustles of life have pushed and pulled me with increasing pace and weight, I have held on to this practice and found my need of ‘Shalom’, encompassing peace, health and wholeness, to be of increasing importance. Today, it has become my heart’s endeavour to position in and remain in ‘Shabbat Shalom’.
