Interwork/Fig Tree, Peace and Abundance

In the Tekhelet Series, I explore Tekhelet, a scared sky blue, or violet blue color that the Ancient Hebrews valued for its connection to the divine. My wonderings in this series are about how the color I have come to associate with Judaism and the divine has also come to be associated with violence. How can the colors and symbols of the Levant be in kinship and moreover, justice Can they ever be?
