In a desire to know more about her roots and ancestors, Yaelle, a daughter of Yemenite descendants who arrived in Israel four generations ago, delved deeply into the spiritual legacy of the people from the Land of Sheba (Yemen) to create this exciting series of paintings.

The exhibit vividly shows the changes of the woman's socio-economic image through different times and generations since arriving to Israel until now. Yaelle is focusing on gradual changes in status, lifestyle and opportunity by the general appearance of traditional costumes and jewelry of the graceful submissive woman to the modern and sophisticated look of today, indicating that the new woman is a liberated one. Through traditional arts, folklore, ceremonies and wedding preparations, she documents important aspects of this unique community in our modern history of the past four generations. It preserves for posterity a culture that is slowly receding as the younger generation integrates into Israel and some into the United States.
