Location : Old Jaffa

Materials : Orange tree, steel structure covered with ground stone & pigments, steel cables.

Dimensions : 5 m' high (including orange tree).

Project History :

Key Meanings : 'Enracinement- Deracinement' , the last 'Jaffa Orange', Genius Loci, lost orange groves, minimal life unit, new- lighter existence

Artist Statement : Is 'Deracinement' the big sickness of our times? Can uprooted existence, established so definitely through international economics, communication & technology produce a new, lighter genuine aesthetic? My 'growing sculptures' do not try to answer these questions. They rather show a 'rooted - uprooted' state while going on living, much as we do, growing into an unclear future.
