Eldor Levi, Sculptor
I drew my inspiration for this artistic presentation from the not-so-distant memory of my military service in the Gaza Strip as a
combat officer serving in the Givati Brigade. A hill there remains vividly etched in my mind.
All the soldiers called it “tulip hill.” At the beginning of the Hebrew month of Adar, the hill would give birth to agreat variety of
flowers, the most impressive among them the tulip, the flower that signifies the approaching spring season. It is particularly
symbolic for me to create a thought-provoking message from that familiar and well-remembered hill in the Gaza Strip.
Instead of raining destruction and tears through Kassam rockets, we are sending a colorful flower to sow peace, growth and
radiance. It is said that in the 16th century, an Ottoman Sultan gave tulip bulbs as a mark of friendship and royalty. This should
be our hope.
