It features a vast range of images spanning from destroyed kibbutzes and wounded Israeli children to pictures of the wars with Iran and returned hostages embracing their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIn the last two and a half years, I&#8217;ve been documenting intensively, from the morning of October 7 (2023), until the last days, everything that happened in Israel during this period of time,\u201d photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/israel-news\/article-814837\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Ziv Koren;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Ziv Koren&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Ziv Koren<\/a> told <em>The Jerusalem Post<\/em> at the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Koren is the photographer behind the images used in the installation. His work, enhanced by the design firm DISKIN, provides the visuals for the ten different projections throughout the 500-square-meter space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cPeople think that when you&#8217;re holding a camera in front of your face, it blocks you from feeling towards the subject that you&#8217;re photographing, and it&#8217;s totally the opposite,\u201d he continued. \u201cMy goal in my photography is to make people feel something, and to go through some kind of emotional experience while viewing the image. And this doesn\u2019t pass me by as it goes from my subject to the viewer. It really goes through me. So, it&#8217;s probably been the hardest documentation (experience) I&#8217;ve had throughout the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>From left to right, Ziv Koren, Danna Azrieli and Noam Horev at the We Shall Rise installation at the Azrieli Mall in Tel Aviv.

We&#8217;ve been through so much. My partner went into miluim (IDF reserves service) for a long, long time, and I stayed home alone. So writing was the place I ran to. I felt a responsibility to write, to describe, and to capture the feelings, the significant moments that not only I went through, but that we went through as a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Horev also alluded to the project as an act of resistance against those who want to see Israel destroyed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe wanted to show that no matter what, no matter how they try to kill us and to make us vanish, we&#8217;re still here,\u201d Horev explained. \u201cReally, this nation has a strength and endless power to continue. We really wanted people to come out, to be proud of being Israeli, and to remember that we&#8217;re strong, and we&#8217;re even stronger when we&#8217;re together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In addition to being housed at the Azrieli Tel-Aviv mall, the We Shall Rise installation received warm support from the Azrieli Group at the launch event, and Azrieli Group CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/tags\/danna-azrieli\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Danna Azrieli;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Danna Azrieli&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Danna Azrieli<\/a> was present.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Azrieli told <em>the Post<\/em> that it was important to her company to create a platform for the installation because it offered Israelis another way to find healing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cEveryone here went through something,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd the goal is that through these moments (depicted in the installation), each of us can find ourselves in ways that we&#8217;ve all experienced. And that way we can all find our way toward a sense of rising up, going forward, and healing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Azrieli also said that the placement of the installation at the mall, which is connected to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/tags\/tel-aviv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Tel-Aviv;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Tel-Aviv&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Tel-Aviv<\/a> Hashalom train station, has parking access and bus stops, and is in a centrally-located Israeli city, was a deliberate measure to enable easy access for the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/world\/articles\/rise-installation-highlights-israels-journey-202102542.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&ldquo;We wanted to show that no matter what, no matter how they try to kill us and to make us vanish, we&rsquo;re<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/we-shall-rise-installation-highlights-israels-journey-since-october-7-at-tel-aviv-mall\/01\/06\/2026\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/en\/jerusalem_post_articles_818\/63c67389dd154567429ec51af727cb11","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59745"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59745\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
