I have found
This original papercut design is based on a quote from Song of Songs: "Matzati et she'ahava nafshi" - I have found the one whom my soul loves (Shir Hashirim 3:4). The fruits of Shir Hashirim - pomegranates, figs and grapes - create a frame for the couple to find each other. The hills of Jerusalem represent the beginning of a new life together, as the couple travels to Israel. These hills also invoke another Shir Hashirim reference: "Kol dodi hene ze ba medaleg al heharim mekapetz al hagevaot" - The voice of my beloved, here he comes leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills (2:8).
The curve of the hill follows the curve of the fig branch (top) to symbolize the ups and downs in life. The couple's names are intertwined in the branches leading to the central quote as they find each other as true soul mates between these curves. The letters of this verse themselves merge to signify the theme of coming together.
