This sculpture was inspired by the large forest fire on the Carmel Mountain that nearly totally consumed the Yamin Ord Youth Village. Though it spread very fast, the fire stopped short of the synagogue where boys and girls from all over the world pray. Among other things, the youths lost many family photos. I chose the family tree to express a representative human sample with its combining shades and colors, placing a solar rainbow above to light the sculpture at night. Seeking to take root in the ground, Roots relate to the contact with the soil.
