Belize 🇧🇿 (Caribbean)
1981, when Belize became independent
It depicts the beautiful motto: Sub Umbra Floreo, meaning "Under the Shade I Flourish"
The mahogany tree, tools and figures represent the logging industry
Some around the world building appreciation
In Belgium 🇧🇪 in Knokke, Niki de saint phalle the dragon house, built 1973
She described this building (and others) as her sculptures “getting bigger and bigger”
Curator Mercedes Espinasa describing the beauty of imperfections as painted by Andrea Emde
I find ink is so hard to work with. Her combination of ink bleeds and sharp, expressive form is amazing
She lost a son and grandson to war, the pain of which can be felt viscerally in her pieces
Thinking of Käthe Kollwitz and her passionate and bravely public hatred of war
Love it when art manages to be strange/beautiful/dark/funny all at once
