Homesh Evacuation #01 / Taken Down

Dvir has commented on the series from which this is taken:

The works are part of a long term project exploring various sides of Human Belief as it is reflected in scenes of conflict and religious nature. The intensity of belief driving people to extreme and sometimes surreal situations is reflected in the confrontations between the Israel security forces and Jewish settlers during the evacuation of Jewish settlements in the West Bank during 2005–6.
The subtitle 'Taken Down' directs us towards the art historical precedents underpinning the composition, in which the action of the soldiers lifting down the body of the settler echoes the deposition in which Christ is lifted down from the cross.
