Shenkar - Engineering. Design. Art.







A water lily in the genus Nymphaea, a botanical variety of Nymphaea nouchali.

The blue water lily, a symbol of resilience and adaptiveness, is swept away in the Yarkon floods to what remains of Ramat Gan’s Haruzim neighborhood. It lives in the ruins of abandoned structures and thrives in their flooded lower levels. The lily grows high and deep, transforming the landscape. The project explores the concept of transience and the cyclical nature of existence, emphasizing the inherent beauty found in the rebirth that comes after ruin. The water lily grapples with the challenges of its new habitat and manages to adapt and thrive. It redesigns its leaves, roots and reproductive strategies to survive in the new world, teaching us about hope, rebirth and life’s perseverance in the face of crushing adversity.
