About the trophy

Unpublished work that represents the 93 years of Shimon Peres, through 93 lines.
“The materialization of the Shimon Peres prize in this sculpture will reach the hands of brilliant people.

Human beings achieve achievement in layers, in stages. It is essential to create things that build you yourself”
