770 Open your arms

Title: 770 Open your arms

• Central Figure: The focal point of the painting is a man seen from behind, arms stretched wide in a gesture that suggests openness, surrender, or triumph. He wears a bold blue leather jacket emblazoned with “770 EASTERN PARKWAY,” referencing the iconic headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement in Brooklyn, New York.

• Perspective: The low-angle perspective creates a sense of grandeur and reverence toward the building, elevating it as a sacred or mythologized place. The viewer is positioned behind the man, sharing his view and, symbolically, his journey.

• Atmosphere: The starry sky above adds a mystical or spiritual quality, suggesting a connection between heaven and earth — between the divine and the physical space of 770.

• Modern Aesthetic: Despite the religious context, the figure’s urban outfit (leather jacket, jeans, confident stance) reflects a fusion of contemporary culture and traditional faith. It presents the idea of a modern-day spiritual warrior or seeker.
