SAFFRON THIEF
Deeply rooted in Jac Lahav’s personal narrative as a foster parent this work brings together various pillars of the artist’s practice into one cohesive body titled The Saffron Thief. Rivaling gold in cost per ounce, saffron’s cost is due in part to the arduous process involved in cultivating fine strands from the intensely purple crocus flower. In this installation, Lahav contrasts the rarity of the plant, its laborious cultivation process, and its mysterious mood-boosting qualities - all as allusions to the heuristic journey of parenting.
