Light Blue Tree of Life

This modern artwork is a captivating interpretation of the Tree of Life, done by Oz El Hai,
crafted from curved shape wood, presenting a three-dimensional form that leaps off the painting.
The background, painted with white car paint, exudes a sleek, vibrant finish,
enhanced by a lacquer coating that gives the piece a glossy, reflective quality.
From its base, painted in light blue oil paint adorned with a shimmering silver stripe,
rises the tree itself,
ingeniously constructed from a multitude of colorful metal butterflies that seem to flutter around the tree,
bringing it to life. This unique choice of materials combines the organic with the industrial,
symbolizing the fusion of nature and human ingenuity.
The Tree of Life, which holds significant meaning in Jewish mysticism, representing wisdom, protection,
strength, bounty, beauty, and redemption. Israel, a country that embodies resilience and rebirth,
mirrors these qualities. Unframed by design, this artwork is ready to hang,
emphasizing its boundary-defying nature and the seamless integration of art into everyday life,
much like the state of Israel's integration of ancient heritage with modern innovation.
