Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's famous late-15th century painting of the same name, the photo features 14 Israeli soldiers in a setting reminiscent of the Last Supper.

I felt we were one.Nes drew inspiration from the works of artists often considered to be gay, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Michelangelo.

At the time he began his artistic career in the 1980s, homosexuality was not openly discussed in Israel, and there was little Israeli art and literature that dealt with homoeroticism.

The best-known photo of the series is The Last Supper[2] that reflects the idea that death is ever-present in Israeli society, not only in combat but also in daily life.

Unlike the original painting, Nes' version lacks tension and shows the soldiers in private conversations, while the central figure (Jesus) "stares vacantly into space".

[7] The fourteenth man (standing at the left) is the only one, apart for the central figure, who is not engaged in a conversation and looks apart, and the only one whose uniform shows the Israeli Defense Forces patch.

The bullet holes in the wall, cigarette smoke, and bitten apple symbolize the transience of life, reinforcing the idea that this could be their last meal together.

[9] Noa Roei writes that Nes "brings the disciples back home, to the land of Israel, and plays with the fact that they too were once Jewish soldiers of sorts.

His contemporary Israeli soldier is endowed with the doomed as well as redeeming faith of Jesus at the same time that Christian canonical history is understood anew in relation to national and military alliances.
