During a summer marked by water scarcity, resources were diverted from agricultural lands in the Golan to nearby settlements. This led to the drying of extensive farmland and the death of many cherry trees, which were eventually uprooted. In our field, the trees that were once harvested annually withered, transforming the space from a place of work and shared memory into a silent land. The uprooted trees carry traces of loss and memory, revealing the invisible impact of human decisions on the land and the life it sustains. The fate of the Golan mirrors that of these trees: a gradual, silent, and ongoing process of uprooting.
