This image is an expression of the first paragraph of the Sh’ma, instructing us to love G-d and how to go about fulfilling this directive.

The trope marks for proper cantillation (chanting) of V'Ahavtah, are the basis for this prayer's design and can be seen in the composition as the black right angle and the pair of dots. The metallic copper color field represents the heavenly realm from where these words of Torah originated. The pattern along the bottom is the diagram for wrapping the phylacteries, (tefillin) that are worn to bind one’s arm, as so directed in this first paragraph. One of the names of G-d, Shaddai, is embodied in the wrappings with the letter shin, the first letter of this name of G-d. Shaddai is also used on the parchment upon which these words are written and stored in a mezuzah case that is mounted on our doors, fulfilling the directive to write these words upon our doorposts and gates.
