Ezra Orion

Ezra Orion was born on Kibbutz Beit Alfa in Mandatory Palestine.

In 1952, he attended the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem but left after a year of studies to enlist in the Israel Defense Forces.

Orion lived and worked at Midreshet Ben-Gurion in Sde Boker.

[2] Orion describes his geologic structures as “launching pads” for the mind.

In the late 1980s, he executed an "Intergalactic Sculpture" by sending a Laser beam to the Milky Way under the auspices of the Israeli Space Agency and the Israel Museum.
