In this poster, I included a dove and the Star of David as central elements. The dove, painted in gentle colors, symbolizes peace, hope, and freedom-key ideals for the State of Israel. The Star of David, formed from delicate blue flowers interconnected by thin lines, represents unity, connection, and the blossoming of the Jewish nation. The colors of blue and white are intentionally selected to reflect Israel's national colors, signifying identity and belonging. Together, these elements express harmony, renewal, and the continuity of Jewish heritage through Israel’s independence. My poster addresses the values that Israel embodies today-primarily peace, unity, and resilience.The floral Star of David conveys the unity among Jewish people both within Israel and throughout the diaspora. Additionally, the interconnected lines between the flowers reflect solidarity and mutual responsibility, fundamental values in Israeli society. My poster communicates a message of peace, connection, and renewal. It highlights Israel's role as a beacon of unity and hope, continuously nurturing the bonds among Jewish communities around the world. The design of my poster was inspired by historical posters and documents from Israel's early years, found in the National Library of Israel’s archives, specifically those emphasizing peace symbols such as doves and natural motifs.
