After 40 years of wandering, the people of Israel are finally entering the Promised Land! The Judaean hills, covered in ancient goat-trails, provided the cue for the horizontal stripes which I’ve used to represent this in graphic form. The composition is very circular, with the rounded forms reflecting the circuitous route through the desert. I particularly enjoyed showing the old broken walls of previous civilizations, suggesting that today’s civilization always sits on the shoulders of history.
