An olive tree shatters into pieces, falls apart, and comes together again.
The tree implodes, deconstructs into fragments and particles flying into an eerie space. The fragments then embark on an intergalactic journey, fractals wandering through the cosmic dust to experience the Big Bang, and collapse into the Black Hole of the Universe. The pieces then reconstruct themselves into the Source.
The rebirthed olive tree, with many layers of ancient symbolism, since Noah’s Ark - a victory wreath in the Mediterranean world, a symbol of belonging to one’s land, and more - tells a story of life and death,healing and coherence as the fragments gather together to recreate the tree in an endless cycle.
TREEBIRTHעֵץהַמּוֹלָד expresses the creation of a new world, a symbolic construction and reconnection, a cycle of birth, death, and a new rebirth.
