I am very impressed by your work with caponic jars. You bring  the beauty of nature into the jar. This magical way of bringing peace to the soul is very much along the Ancient Egyptian worldview. God has bestowed  you with long age to help others on their journey. I will be happy to communicate with you as you are in a way part of Egypt. Thank you for sharing your work with me.
Dr. Ibrahim Karim, Biogeometry

After a trip to Egypt in 2012, artist, Genie Poretzky-Lee began a series of Canopic Jar sculptures (2012-2019). The glass jars, in various sizes and shapes, usually used for storage in the kitchen, became containers for an experimental process of growth and transformation. Similar to aquariums or terrariums, she filled each one with a substance and a catalyst. For example, in Canopic Jar #3 Hatching (2012- 2019), soil and a ceramic egg were the main contents and the condensation on the inside of the sealed glass jar, the catalyst.
