The sculpture represents what one might see through a telescope when watching a far-away galaxy which from the time of its inception continuously grows from the inside out, looking like a huge agitated mass. The background of the sculpture represents a stirring motion, matching the design on the floor. In the lobby of the building, the floor is made of local marble, combined with imported, brown shaded marble, in the shape of the stirring motif. In the center of the stirring design is a verse written in copper lettering: "to build the house of carved stone" (Kings 1, 5:31). A large modern builders' perpendicular or plumb bob hangs over the middle stirring assembly, representing a connection between the ancient and modern building professions. The main sculpture combines the words of the verse "four copper wheels to each machine" (Kings 1, 7:30), describing the ritual instruments in use in the Temple, as well as the industrial neighborhood of today's Talpiot. Four cogwheels are connected to one, as a modern interpretation to the ancient verse. |

Three-dimensional, multi-meaning combinations of old or quaint objects, designed to change completely the meaning of the constituent parts. Humor and amusement are a none-too-subtle goal. Some are reminiscent of Edward Leer's nonsense poems, and others are like cryptic crosswords Each "nonsensesculpture" is a conglomeration of objects, presented as a decorative object, to be placed on a wall or shelf. These "sculptural mutations" are a bit like "the immortal kitsch"; but they contain a deeper meaning too. Objects from different times and cultures are used to form a double meaning in a different connotation of language or culture. By mixing objects of different cultures and periods, this kind of art is an antithesis to culture and to art itself. |

Phoenicians |
The Phoenicians were part of the Hyksos invasion of Canaan. While the Hyksos, with the Israelis, continued their conquests in Egypt, the Phoenicians settled along the coast from the area of Herzliya, Israel to Latakiya, Syria. The Phoenicians engaged in trade in the Mediterranean and established colonies in Sicily, North Africa, and Spain. The Phoenician name comes from the Greek word Φοίνικε, which means purple, is due to their expertise in producing colours from marine snails. The Phoenicians are considered the inventors of pure glass from sea sand and lime, to which they added various shades and made glass vessels in which they traded. The Phoenician alphabet is almost identical to the ancient Hebrew alphabet that was used about 1,000 years B.C., until the time of the Second Temple period. This work ҐhoeniciansӠstands as a blue monument that demonstrates the colour of the sky, but also the colour of water. The white simulates the clouds carried by the wind like the Phoenician ships but also the ripples of the waves that were split by the shipsՠbows. The structure is a reminiscent of milestones and signs of intersections, as well as a monument. The inscription is in Phoenician in crimson shade. The structure reminds of a bottle dryer facility and is dedicated to Marcel Duchamp. The preoccupation with Phoenicians, which dwelled in the area close to Nahariya today, but also in modern Morocco, reminds us of the work of the artist Jack Zano, which is influenced by his childhood in Morocco, as well as the views of the town of Shelomi, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, close to the Lebanese border. Therefore, the work is also dedicated to my dear friend Zano.

The Departure From Heaven:
Neolithic Revolution |
Dedicated to Piet Mondrian Piet Mondrian is known for being one of the pioneers of 20th century abstract art, as he changed his artistic direction from figurative painting to an increasingly abstract style, until he reached a point where his artistic vocabulary was reduced to simple geometric elements. Design historian Stephen Bayley said: 'Mondrian has come to mean Modernism. His name and his work sum up the High Modernist ideal. I donմ like the word ԩconicլ so letճ say that heճ become totemic – a totem for everything Modernism set out to be. [source: Wikipedia]

The
Tabernacle: Hebraica III |
When the Israelites arrived in Canaan, around the 19th century B.C.E., they were exposed to the wine ritual, adopted it and since then they drink in special events. The Hebrew phrase חג ומועד (Ҩoly holidayө means literally get dizzy, turn around themselves and fall. The Israelites went on with their conquests and took control over the Nile Delta until the eruption of the island of Santorini in 1580 B.C.E. when they were forced to flee from the Delta area both due to the mighty tsunami that caused enormous damages (see the story of the Ten Plagues), and due to the awakening of the people of Upper Egypt whom the Israelites drove south some 250 years before the eruption and their desire to take revenge and destroy the Israelites, a desire that existed hundreds of years and also appears in Pharaoh Merneptah Stele over 300 years after the Israelites left Egypt. They wandered in deserts for many years, and in their desire to continue keeping the wine ritual in the desert where there is no shade or place to hide they built the Tent of Meeting (aka Tabernacle)—where people get drunk and spring their ankles) to meet in and drink wine and fall in a controlled manner. Get an
idea about the look of the Tabernacle.

The Twins: Jachin & Boaz |
Kings 1, chapter 7: 21: ҁnd he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple, and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.ӠThe Hebrew word Ҽspan class=SpellE>Jachinӊ יכין means: ҧet readyӠor ҰrepareӠand since Israel is a nation of fighters and had to fight with most of their neighbors, they had primarily been Ҳeady for battle.ӠTherefore, the name Ҽspan class=SpellE>JachinӠgiven to the first pillar represents the leader of the people, the one who prepares them for fight and leads them to battles. The second pillar connects the nation to sanctity and spirituality, just like the style of temple pillars of the surrounding ancient tribes at the time, pillars of temples of the Ionic order had heads for pillars with the horns of a goat (Capra aegagrus), which were originally the symbol for ғinӠthe ancient Moon God. The name Ҽspan class=SpellE>bo-ezӠבו-עז meant ҧoat in it.ӠThe Hebrew Ҽspan class=SpellE>bo-ozӠis written the same way as Ҽspan class=SpellE>bo-ez,Ӡbut means ҳtrength in it,ӊ just like ҂oazӠwhich goes well with the biblical verse in Psalms Chapter 29:11: Ҕhe LORD will give strength unto His people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.ӠThat means, to my understanding, that the left, and second pillar represents the people of Israel upon whom lies the responsibility of peace making. The house was basically built of logs: ҆or he built the building beams with wood from the trees of Lebanon: their length thereof was a hundred cubits, the breadth was fifty cubits, and the height was thirty cubits, resting upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.ӠI therefore made both pillars of wood: General Cedrus Deodara

The ancient Romans used the word ҴriviaӠto describe where one road split or forked into two roads.
