Flying Hope

In this dazzling Pop Art creation, Esther Encaoua transforms a violin into a cascade of colorful butterflies, symbolizing rebirth, freedom, and resilience. The artwork bursts with vibrant details: butterflies in motion, comic-style bursts, peace doves, hearts, the Hebrew word “Chai” (life), and the phrase “We Will Dance Again” — a tribute to hope after the tragedy of October 7th and the Nova festival.

This painting also carries a touching tribute to the Bibas family, forever engraved in Israel’s collective memory. Through their presence, the artwork becomes both a celebration of life and a memorial to loss, ensuring that remembrance and hope go hand in hand.

At the bottom, an IDF soldier stands strong, grounding the imagery in courage and sacrifice, while the butterflies rise upward like music taking flight. The mix of flowers, butterflies, and pop symbols creates a balance between fragility and strength, memory and celebration of life.

This artwork is ready to hang and does not require framing.
