Golden Roots

Created by Oz El Hai, this modern artwork presents a striking interpretation of the Tree of Life,
made from curved wood coated in pristine white car paint,
sealed with a glossy lacquer finish for a sleek, reflective surface.
The base of the piece is a vivid landscape of red tones,
rendered in oil paints and highlighted by a luminous gold stripe,
symbolizing vitality and prosperity. Sprouting from this vibrant foundation,
the tree itself is an elaborate construction of 3D colorful metal butterflies,
each element contributing to a lively and dynamic representation of foliage.
This melding of the organic with the metallic reflects a harmonious balance between nature and innovation,
a core aspect of Israeli ethos. The use of red and gold,
colors that echo the warmth and historical richness of the Israeli landscape and heritage.
The artwork is thoughtfully framed in wood, painted with the same white car paint and lacquer finish,
making the frame an integral part of the piece.
