My sculpture is a crop of a photograph, one object split to two – a front side anda back side, inside and outside. I build basic, trivial, completely dry elements.

Yael: How was it today?Herzliya: It was lovely, lovely. Loads of cyclamens, now the cyclamens are notjust white, they are actually pink and purple, so beautiful and theygrow out of the rocks in groups. It was a spectacular sight. We got tothe site, just before the Twins Cave and the Cave Spring, where therewas a cluster of red tulips…Hanan: It can’t be a red tulip. Red is probably anemones.Herzliya: No, they were orange like that, and loads of them…Hanan: An orange tulip, or orange except for the spot?Herzliya: Orange and yellow.Yael: Where?Herzliya: In Judea Mountains, not far from Beit Shemesh, near the Valley ofElah. Near… between Ness Harim and… what is that place called?Hanan: Zanoah.Herzliya: Yeah, Zanoah, Zanoah. It was a lovely trip…Uri Pick was there….heleapt to the rocks to photograph the tulips…there was a steep wall ofrocks, he leapt on it, climbed to take a photograph.Hanan: He’s a physicist isn’t he?Herzliya: No, he’s a biochemist, I think, at the Wiezmann Institute. Seffy,could you bring the plate please? Uh, sorry, excuse me…Seffy: I saw cyclamens in the Galilee, when I was there just now.
