Disasters—ecological, personal and natural
disasters—which were Asaf Ben Zvi's primal focus
of attraction and repulsion, have become colorful
fields, with motifs such as a cross, a jerrycan, a
hornet, moth or bird, symbolizing fragile human
existence in eternal struggle. Later, the word
penetrated the painterly array, and Ben Zvi's work
became a reflection on the personal, the public,
the local and the universal.
