Olive Columns (The Park of the Olives), Ramat Rachel, Israel
View Original Description
Olive Columns is an environmental sculpture at the edge of Jerusalem, in the middle of the The Park of the Olives near Kibbutz Ramat Rachel.
This work was finished by Morin in October 1991. It consists of three 15-meter columns, topped by three olive trees, now decades old. There is a series of steps at the base of the pillars leading up to them. A computerized system built into the statue monitors the soil at the top and fertilizes it over time.
The columns are part of an artistic installation with three paths leading away from the triangular base of the trees. Flanking the mouth of one of these paths are two 2-meter tall eggs made of rock, cracked in half at the top, out of which smaller olive trees are growing.
