This is amazing! This is artwork in the AIRPORT in San Francisco. I read somewhere about a person who came to the US from an impoverished area in India, landed at the airport, felt the air conditioning, drank clean water out of a fountain, looked around and said "You live in paradise and don't even know it!" I don't think anyone much noticed this statue, but after I started taking pictures of it, people started walking up to it and studying it. I should probably put the full photo up, but was particularly taken by the head, so wanted to post this.I so hope I get a chance to visit San Francisco again, but in the meantime, I'll have to find "paradise" even in Grand Forks!

ReplyDeleteAwesome photo! I've flown in/out of SFO numerous times and love that airport, it's like a museum. My girls always want to get their early to have time to look around. They change the exhibits on a regular basis too, always something new and fun.

ReplyDeleteI'm curious to see what the rest of it looked like! I noticed the refelction behind it--very cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool! Looks like strips of paper.

ReplyDeleteHoly Moly Angela. This totally rocks! At the airport. Wow...I haven't been to the Maine airport lately, but I bet it doesn't have anything quite like this.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what an incredibly interesting statue! So much wonderful detail in it. Good for you for opening others' eyes to it.
