Magnus Gjoen's sculpture 'Axis Mundi' features two rock crystal Uzi machine guns, an Israeli weapon, held aloft by olive and chestnut branches, symbolizing a paradoxical interplay between war and peace. The use of rock crystal, often associated with clarity and healing, contrasts sharply with the destructive nature of the Uzis, while the olive and chestnut branches symbolize peace and endurance. This poignant piece reflects the tension and hope in conflict zones, akin to the enduring struggle in Gaza. By juxtaposing weapons with symbols of peace and nature, Gjoen evokes a profound commentary on the possibility of reconciliation amid violence, urging viewers to contemplate the complex, often contradictory nature of human conflict and the perpetual yearning for harmony.
