Roots of Peace

Made by Oz El Hai, this contemporary artwork, rendered on a uniquely curved wood,
showcases an inventive use of white car paint, sealed with a glossy lacquer finish.
The base of the painting incorporates real paint tubes,
symbolizing the foundation and richness of creativity and life.
From this creative bedrock sprouts the Tree of Life,
meticulously crafted from 3D metal butterflies in black and white,
each adorned with splashes of color, representing life's vibrancy amidst its monochromatic challenges.
For Israel, this painting holds a deep resonance,
reflecting its complex history and the resilience of its people.
The paint tubes signify Israel's cultural and historical layers,
while the butterflies symbolize the nation's perseverance, diversity,
and the continuous evolution towards peace amidst adversity.
The artwork is encased in a Curved wooden frame, painted in white and finished with lacquer,
which not only complements the painting but enhances its depth, adding a tangible 3D effect.
