Isaac Brynjegard-Bialik '93

Artist Isaac Brynjegard-Bialik '93 was commissioned by the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to create an art piece for the new Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Foundation Interfaith Center. The work is titled “Tree of Life” and is a vast collage of superheroes – both from comic books and the hospital staff. The tree depicts many well-known comic superheroes like Batman and Wolverine, as well as countless others. Hung in the hospital’s chapel, the piece has religious symbolism. Brynjegard-Bialik stated the tree represents the Jewish Torah and the Jewish traditions of “knowledge and learning, of hope and healing, of happiness and life.”
