First came Björk, then came LOVE...

I saw this poster on Facebook and thought, "hmmm, that’s an interesting idea," but I couldn’t think of anything that resonates with me in that way. For some reason, though, this poster jumped out at me. I would find out why the very next day. A friend had liked someone’s comment about Burning Man and there was a photo of a sculpture. When I saw it, my jaw dropped and I could feel so much energy and emotion moving inside me. I thought back to Björk’s comment and said, "this is it!" I couldn't believe how this sculpture was conveying so many of my feelings - some of which even I didn't understand, until I saw the photo. I connected with this beautiful work of art on so many levels. The sculpture is called LOVE:

I went to the Burning Man website to find out more about this piece that is the brainchild of Ukranian, Alexandr Milov. The description reads: It demonstrates a conflict between a man and a woman as well as the outer and inner expression of human nature. The figures of the protagonists are made in the form of big metal cages, where their inner selves are captivated. Their inner selves are executed in the form of transparent children, who are holding out their hands through the grating. As it’s getting dark (night falls) the children start to shine. This shining is a symbol of purity and sincerity that brings people together and gives a chance of making up when the dark time arrives.

So beautiful. To me, LOVE says it all.
