Yaacov Agam created "Star of Hope" to explore themes of identity and hope through the lens of his Jewish heritage and personal experiences. Agam was deeply affected by the Holocaust, which shaped his artistic vision and his commitment to using art as a means of promoting peace and understanding. The Star of David, a powerful symbol of Jewish identity, takes center stage. Here, Agam re-imagines it as a vibrant, kinetic form. This choice reflects Agam's desire to move beyond static representations and to embrace the dynamic, ever-changing nature of life and faith. The use of vivid colors and geometric patterns creates a sense of movement and energy. This invites viewers to engage with the artwork in a sensory way. Agam once said, "My intention was to show a reality beyond the visible." "Star of Hope" reflects his commitment to exploring themes of identity, memory, and hope, even in the face of historical trauma.
