The Garden of Stars is an annual sculpture garden; this year's aim was to bring an ode to the sun: immense, indivisible, imperishable, and everywhere present.
Thirteen artists made a work based on (the adoration of) the sun, making the garden a place to become aware of its omnipresent power.
Becoming aware all at once, of something that has been with you all your life
so ordinary, so commonplace
It is part of our worldview, we have always known her presence in our environment
and accepted it as self-evident without considering its true significance
so fundamental, such basic truths in our existence,
the last things to think about.
