Artistic balance and its symbolic significance

Selected for its artistic balance and strong symbolic significance, this photograph is part of the international Two Seas project, which aims to promote reconciliation and cooperation between the populations living around the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.

In this image, the Dead Sea stretches out motionless, almost frozen, while the land in the background, visible within reach, belongs to Israel, a territory in conflict since October 7.

This photograph thus evokes the persistent tension in the region, where aspirations for peace coexist with the reality of conflict. The contrast between the apparent serenity of the water and the gravity of the events underscores the complexity of a space steeped in history and geopolitical issues.

Through this perspective, the image calls to mind the urgency of peaceful dialogue and the need for a shared future for these two seas, symbolically uniting people around a common hope.
