Donor wall. Most unique.
This idea was inspired by the client’s wish to have a strong connection to the locality of where they are located, Aruba.
The Divi tree was an obvious go-to, as it is a tree native to Aruba.
The origin for the English word "plaque" is derived from (the French word 'plak' which came from) the old Dutch word "plakken", which means "to stick" - very appropriate, as the warmth, merriment, and gaiety sticks to all those that have the pleasure of coming to visit Chabad Aruba.
Following on with the Dutch theme (as Aruba is a Dutch colony) we added the word "Muur", which means "wall" in Dutch. Bringing us to the name: The Plakken Muur.
By far one of the most complex pieces we have worked on. To illustrate that point, we took it to an engineer to work out the placement and sizes of the plakken. They gave us our money back and admitted defeat!
