Yet, as individuals continue to enter the sukkah, their attention will be drawn upwards by the back wall, which ascends to a higher level that the entrance. To make the transition from exterior to interior, the inside walls consist of large woven textiles, which hang closely to the exterior nylon covering. These weavings represent warmth and comfort to the inhabitant. Light penetrates through openings and spaces integral to the fabrics. A ritualistic task evolves from setting stones on the ground to create the floor.
Various pots facilitate the transport of the stones from site to site.
After the sukkah is raised, the pots serve a secondary function to collect water for drinking and washing. A weathervane sits on top of the sukkah to remind us the omnipresence of nature and our susceptibility to it. From exhibit at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Materials of cedar boards, plywood on wood frame, wooden dowels, wooden pegs, branches, and straw mats. I began designing this sukkah with the concept to experience the structure, the place, the celebration of Sukkot - a time of thanksgiving, sharing, remembering.
