Description
This colorful Pessach artwork depicts various themes from the Pessach holiday: Moses in the bulrushes, matzot, the seder plate, and the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, pursued by the Egyptians.

For your interest, there are some rather interesting insights into the inner meaning of Pessach on the (very intense) Rav Ginsburgh’s ‘Gal Einai’ website.
Here is a short excerpt, just to give you a taste:
Every time we breathe, we are in a sense re-aspiring. In fact, the Hebrew word for “inhale” (שְׁאִיפָה) literally means “to aspire!” Aspiring is the essence of the Exodus from Egypt; it is the aspiration, the yearning. Because the Exodus of Egypt is the bedrock of our people, it would not be amiss to say that Jews are defined by the fact that they aspire. The Jewish soul aspires. – from Preparation for Passover: The Four Existential Questions in the Jewish Heart (Gal Einai website).
