0:55 Calligraphy Of The Lightning From Liuli China Museum
The violent energy of lightning to a moment frozen elegantly in time. We witness the precise moment when lightning strikes the sand. The weave of light has been imprinted upon the glass. The stem of the sculpture resembles Chinese calligraphy (草書), whose literal translation is “grass script”. Once again, Bonte draws our attention back to the very earth itself.
No longer needing to submit to outside influences, no longer confined to the physical limitations of a domed ceiling: like wind - a gale, a gravity defying explosive energy, this is the freedom that comes from knowing your power, from coming into your own.
