Powerful "Burning Man" Sculpture Leaves A Huge Impression On All Who Have Seen It
While the Burning Man probably hasn't garnered the greatest reputation in recent years, with several tragedies occurring on its grounds, it still has its redeeming qualities.
Easily one of the most inspiring parts of the iconic festival is its display of artistic expression. Sculptures, paintings, exhibits, choreographed performance - all are present. And each year, the collection is awe inspiring. Well this year, there was one in particular that captivated attendees, and it's no mystery why.
Milov had this to say about the poignant sculpture on Burning Man's website, “It demonstrates a conflict between a man and a woman as well as the outer and inner expression of human nature. 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 chart 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."
It's a beautiful work that serves as a testament to how children, despite being relationally immature, are far better at forgiving, and far less inclined to hold lasting grudges. It's in their nature to make peace. It should be in ours too.
