It's been recently in the news, not really in the big news though, that this massive extraordinary sculpture's designers have been sued by the local authorities. According to The Guardian, no one has been really injured by this sculpture, however there is some negligence in its construction and maintenance, possing thus as a hazard to the community.
Seeing pictures of this sculpture do actually leave me gobsmacked. It's beautiful, and at least in the pictures, it looks perfect, like a real explosion, like something is coming out from the centre. Now, making that sculpture most have taken certain levels of imagination and creativity and skills that not many of us could ever have. And while i think that indeed, it could be dangerous, especially because of spikes falling off here and there...I think its something to be noted.
Looking at this image, through this medium, makes me ponder about the premises guiding this blog. What are the things that direct us inside? Can we only be reacting to the nature and the social? Or is that the chemical functions of our brain and body are so particular that allow us to create, to admire, and to challenge?
This is another pick, from Sheffield Hallam University. Couldn't resist as there are too many of them. I think this is particularly beautiful and contrasting to the picture i put on the top.
