It seems as if an invisible thread
interweaves and connects the artworks
of the artist, Victor Halvani, giving each
individual artwork additional, deeper
meaning, highlighted in the presence of
its companions.
In this catalog we chose, therefore,
several themes which may inspire your
imagination when planning a theme-
based park, garden or internal space.

Music in the Bible
Ancient heroes come alive,
Vivid, present, as
Tunes of the past flow
Toward the future
Awakening us
To mysterious longing.

Motherhood
From a tender sprout
To the arched belly line
From the birth pangs
To the cradling embrace.
From this rounded, whole,
Unbreakable bond,
Motherhood emerges.

Dilemma
"Can the two walk together,
unless they are agreed?"
(Amos 3:3)
Between
Light and darkness,
Yin and Yang,
Good and evil,
Past and future,
Truth and falsehood

Floating lightly,
Touching the sky,
Fingertips drawing
An exact, endless line
Drawing strength from
The heights,
The sun,
The wind,
Dancing.
