If I can ever get to Seoul, Korea, I would love to attend the Lotus Festival of Lanterns, which happens every year in honor of Buddha's birth on the 8th day of the 4th month of the Lunar calendar. This magnificent installation of lotus shaped lanterns shown above carries the same spirit as the Lotus Festival...
The "Lotus Zone of Zero" was created by Kim Sooja, a Korean born New York based artist, and is on view at Galerie Ravenstein in Brussels. It consists of a steel structure and cables and 2000 lotus shaped lanterns suspended in a circular pattern. "The installation is accompanied by sounds of Gregorian, Tibetan and Islamic chants. Utilizing space and time, Sooja's installation is a call for peace, love and understanding amongst human beings."
Wow--that looks amazing!
