A tall stone tower on a floating rock is struck by a bolt of golden lightning from stormy clouds. The crown-shaped top of the tower explodes outward. Two figures fall through the air—one crowned, one common. Flames burst from the windows. Twenty-two drops of flame (shaped like Hebrew yods) fall through the sky. The scene is dramatic but transformative—destruction that liberates.
