During the Corona period, we all entered a real or imagined 'state of emergency'. Many burning issues were dropped from the agenda and there was no room for any other issue other than the plague, which caught our full attention.

Now, when they are slowly returning to routine, the exhibition "Here are all the flowers" is re-flooding unresolved conflicts, dilemmas, and needs to return to the discourse.

The works in the exhibition are all colorful, "beautiful". They are eye-catching, delighting the heart at first sight. When you delve into them, you find that they are not as cheerful as we were impressed. The works, all created in the pre-Corona era, deal with difficult issues - the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, government decay, rape culture, environmental pollution, the refugee problem and other issues that were in the public consciousness before the Corona, and were pushed aside. The exhibition seeks to bring them back into the discourse. Painting the dark sides of reality in beautiful and cheerful colors helps us, the viewers, not to slow down in the face of the difficulty of the difficult issues the works deal with, but to have a real and poignant discussion of issues that are sometimes perceived as unbearably difficult.

The exhibition is held with the support of the Jerusalem Foundation, Director of Culture, Korsh, an association for the promotion of art.
