The new book by Gloria Abella Ballen on The Power of the Hebrew Alphabet will be out later this year, and Dr. Tamar Frankiel, has written the following about it.
The Hebrew letters, understood as building blocks of the universe, have inspired commentators and artists since ancient times. But rarely do the letters find a lover so tender and passionate as Gloria Abella Ballen. With this book, you hold in your hands over 200 pages of artistic genius, exalted by the mystical quest and tamed by a deep caring for meaning and tradition.
What is perhaps most surprising is that I do not tire of looking at these pages. Just when I think to move along and flip through the pages, a new piece will catch my eye and I slow down again. Almost certainly, you will want to see these larger, closer; you will want to step back and look from a distance. You will wish you could feel the textures.
But especially, you will smile. This book awakens a subtle yet profound joy..."
