Avner Bar Hama (b.1946) created this work in the shadow of the disengagement from Gaza in 2005. As a sculptor and conceptual artist, he makes use in this work of the iconic Jaffa orange, once a symbol of Israeli pride. The oranges create a map of Israel – a map that with one false step could easily be disrupted or even destroyed. (Image courtesy of the artist)
