About This Project

This work reflects the symbolic importance of the olive tree in Palestinian identity. Despite the challenges of using olive wood, including cavities, knots, and high oil content, these were resolved with epoxy to emphasize the natural grain and hollow core. A cross-section from an olive tree in Asira Al-Shamaliya, estimated to be about 500 years old, was used, giving the piece its title, “500 Years,” and it is completed with plasma-cut metal legs.
