Description
This program celebrates the vital importance of the olive tree, an ancestral pillar of the Tunisian economy and identity. The illustration superimposes the silhouette of a dove of peace on a stylized olive tree, whose foliage is part of a solar disk evoking the fertility of the Mediterranean climate. By placing the tree above traditional architectural structures, including domes and a minaret, designer Gorgi underlines the unwavering link between this natural heritage and the urban and spiritual landscape of Tunisia. The message focuses on international cooperation and Tunisia's vocation as a land of peace and the first olive garden, where olive oil is not only an economic resource, but a symbol of fraternity and stability.
