About this artwork
During the First World War, the Jewish settlers in the Land of Israel were in a difficult economic situation. Severe shortage of basic foodstuffs and raw materials as well as seeds for agriculture.
In the fall, the land was plowed to prepare it for sowing. In the spring, cut the grain stalks close to their heads, using a sickle or scythe. After that, the oats were sheaved into sheaves and taken to the threshing floor where they threshed the grains… to separate the chaff from the seeds. The chaff would fly in the wind and the seeds would fall to the ground. In the next step, grind the seeds again to turn them into flour and bake bread.
The whole process of making bread, from sowing, through the grains, to the slice that enters the mouth and is crushed by it, is a distinct symbol of creation.
