Part of the collection: Original comic art of “Golden Bees” by Monika Powalisz and Zosia Dzierżawska
The fifth page original art. Tzadik Mendel Kalisz talks to the shapeshifting prophetess Deborah, still in his dream. She turns into the bee swarm again, soon to become burning flames which consume the Jewish neighbourhood of Warsaw. Notes on the left margine define the colours for the panel: ż – cz | gradient – which means yellow to red gradient. As a result, in the printed version the colours are breached – the upper part, including the upper part of panel 5, is dominated by yellow, while at the bottom the red is dominant (with greenish touches of the houses and the living space of the tzadik – as we see him waking up.)
