Celebration through all faiths...

This is what a true celebration of co-existence and religious freedom looks like! The northern city of Haifa is a home for 5 different religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Druze and the Bahá'í Faith. Check out the 'Holiday of Holidays' festival in Haifa, which marks holidays of all religious communities living together in the city.

According to many eastern beliefs, to achieve true enlightenment one must go through a long and profound spiritual process of consciousness transformation. Once the journey is complete the person is forever "enlightened".

These beliefs influenced the west and produced the idea that one can also achieve enlightenment through Trance music.

However, as opposed to the original idea, this kind of enlightenment is immediate and only takes a few minutes to achieve. Moreover, it is a temporary enlightenment - it fades quickly and can be restored in the next rave party.

Following these two principles - immediate and temporary - and inspired by traditional Indian art, we created a modular typographic system, consists of 13 curved stamps elements, which can be used to construct the whole Hebrew alphabet.

The final product was hand printed using a glow-in-the-dark paint on a 6m long wall.
