Installation "Gates of prayer" – five compositions: "Gates of Exodus", "Gates of Galut", "Gates of the catastrophe", and "Gates of prayer" – five steps to learn the history of the nation.
Each consists of three "codes" with a clearly defined structure. The outer "code" – 21 letters of the Hebrew alphabet that together are the encrypted prayer Ashrei – compiled as an acrostic, each poem starts with another letter of the alphabet in order (only the letter "nun" is lacking). The second
and third "codes" are images, the figures of people, who took part in crucial moments, their graphical interpretation.
For the first time the installation was shown in 2004 in the synagogue "Beit Yakov" in Kiev.
