FRAGILITY
Alma Lion
Israel

The brooch was created in October 2023 by joining an olive branch with metal.
This union reveals a material tension between the cold, sharp metal and the tender, fragile olive branch.
At the same time, it evokes a symbolic contrast — between the arrow, a weapon, and the olive branch, a timeless emblem of peace.
