A resident of Manhattan, originally from Montreal, Canada, Kitai has been photographing the world for more than 20 years. The exhibit depicts, says Kitai, “timelessness in the ancient land of Israel and fleeting impressions of ineffable beauty from the gardens of Claude Monet. Both settings speak to the paradox of the timelessness and evanescence of land, nature and history.” The interplay of shadow and light, sharp clear images and hidden, secret area of haze and mist,” adds Kitai, who is an adjunct assistant professor of English at the college, ” frame some of the most beautiful and precious existences on our planet, some created by the hand of man and some by the Divine, giving one a glimpse into the infinite.”
