GENEVA <3 SWITZERLAND
The UNITED NATIONS was IMPRESSIVE, everything relating to politics!! The tour was given by an associate of President Obama’s, she was so smart tellingFASCINATING stories of INTERNATIONAL intrigue; Obama, Putin, Stalin, etc., so many important political people, places & critical world decissions.
Miquel Barcelo (Spanish) abstract artist created the ceiling painting featuring hundreds of dangling icicle shapes on an elliptical dome full of bright colors and torn aluminum took over a year to produce. He worked with architects, engineers and even particle physics laboratories to develop the extra-strength aluminum for the dome using more than 100 tons of paint with pigments from all over the world!!
“On a day of immense heat in the middle of the Sahel desert, I recall with vivacity the mirage of an image of the world dripping toward the sky,” Barcelo says. “Trees, dunes, donkeys, multicolored beings flowing drop by drop.” Associated Press 11/18/2008
It is a POWERFUL feeling .. the WHOLE world as if you are at the bottom of the SAME ocean .. looking up TOGETHER at the reflections of the dangling spikes so vibrant in color!!! I LOVED it…& the story behind it! <3
