Olive Columns monument.
The Olive Columns are situated on top of the Ramat Rachel Mountain, on the axis connecting the center of Jerusalem to Herodion, overlooking the ancient main entrance to Jerusalem - the 'Patriarchs Road'.
The sculpture dramatizes the passage of time by creating a new 'ground level' on top of treelike columns which grow out of the historical mountain landscape. From this 'root system' of the past, facing the desert, grow three living olive trees, which are traditionally a symbol of freshness, fertility and, of course, peace.
