Stephen Bornstein Sculptures' shown during National Arts Program Show at Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center.

In January 2012, the National Arts Program held it's annual Austin art show at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center.

I exhibited two bronze pieces. 

The first is a bronze sculpture titled "AMEN", A longhorn bull is used to represent the chief among the Egyptian Gods. It is to this god that all three monotheistic religions declare homage after most prayers (curiously, not the pre-Moses, Abrahamic prayers). 


This God, Amen, represented as a bull was actually an Ox (a castrated bull) when domesticated, becomes an important servant of society. The domestication of the Bovine (bull) opens the door to what we know as today; permanent agrarian life.

My second sculpture was a bronze bust with selective gold plating (on a mirror reflective surface behind the bust). The subject was Moses depicted as both Pharaoh and Beduin.

My belief that Moses was a Egyptian. The baby abandonment story was really in reverse. He was of noble birth. Most likely the son of Nefateti. He was abandoned at the same time she mysteriously disappears, three years before the death of her husband, Akhenaton.
