"Promised Land" confronts the absurdity of Israel’s constant fight for existence, with bullet-riddled words symbolizing enduring violence against an ancient promise. Two olive trees on pedestals, inspired by Ran Morin’s 1991 sculpture near Jerusalem, represent stubborn peace and deep-rooted Jewish history unearthed through archaeology, challenging narratives of Israel as a colonizer. The artwork captures Israel’s resilience, demanding eternal vigilance to survive, like democracy and the olive tree, battered yet defiantly alive.
