Hoheisel & Knitz

Rabin Peace Forum [Tel Aviv 2001]

International Competition, Project/Proposal

Our ship carries no weapons. The ship carries a memorial garden upon its deck in honor of Yitzhak Rabin.
The ship is a place to reflect on peace. People from different war torn lands meet here.
They stay on board to talk, discuss and search for peace. As they leave, hopeful, new arrivals from other torn regions replace them. They, too, stay the course for peace, as Yitzhak Rabin did diligently and exemplary.

Peace is not a monument.

Peace means to act.

Peace means to meet.

Peace means to talk.

Peace means to listen.

Peace means to give.

Peace means to admit.

Peace means to calm.

Peace means to tolerate.

Peace means to discuss.

Peace means to compromise.

Peace means to share ideas.

Peace means to head for a goal.

Peace means to stay the course.

Peace means to change the course.

Peace means to move to a new land.

Peace means to travel to a different world.

Peace means to travel to an unknown destination.

Peace is not a solid house on a sound foundation.

Peace is a ship with fragile goods on a rough sea.
