Olive Columns, Environmental sculpture in Ramat Rachel, Israel
The Olive Columns consists of three tall columns reaching 11 meters in height, each supporting a living olive tree at its summit.
Created by artist Ran Morin in 1991, the sculpture stands at a location that marks historical borders and incorporates elements of ancient agricultural practices.
The installation features 200 olive trees arranged in 27 concentric rows, representing the enduring connection between agriculture and local traditions.
Located 4 kilometers south of Jerusalem's Old City, the site includes walking paths that offer views of the Herodian, Judean Desert, and Dead Sea.
The structure maintains living olive trees through advanced irrigation systems, combining contemporary engineering with traditional horticultural methods.
