Symbolic fissure
The picture depicts a unique ceiling of POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews which stands in what once was the heart of Jewish Warsaw and the fissure of the main hall have to symbolize Jewish dramatic lot. Whenever I have the opportunity, I'm taking friends to visit museum not only to touch the history, but to admire this extraordinary architectural phenomenon. Picture is a part of my project called "Architectural symbolism".
