Gate of Trust

A postcard distributed to visitors presents "Gate of Trust"—a soft, flexible gate that offers an alternative interpretation of the concept of victory. At first glance, the work appears to be an ordinary promotional postcard. In doing so, it connects Jerusalem Design Week to a familiar practice within the Haredi community: a telephone hotline offering religious lessons, words of encouragement, and personal stories centered on faith and trust in God.

The work proposes a worldview in which trust is the foundation of victory, one that depends not on the conditions of reality but on faith. Within the longstanding discourse between Rome and Jerusalem, victory is understood as the ability to accept that there is a higher force guiding reality and that the rules of the game are in its hands; our role is simply to understand and accept this. As a designed object, the postcard, in its simplicity and accessibility, also alludes to the opening pages of sacred religious texts, suggesting that victory need not appear as a singular moment of triumph or momentum, but rather as an ongoing practice sustained over time.
