For ten months back in 2008, Filipino artist
Impy Pilapil's large, outdoor sculptures for the exhibit titled "
Interactive: The 12 Senses" were on display in the gardens of the
Ateneo de Manila University. Many of us were very sad when they were dismantled because they added such bright spots of color to the campus. Happily however, two pieces were retained. The bamboo
Chime Halo was reinstalled when the new
Rizal Library was finished last year and this one, Surge, was never removed. One of the
Ateneo Art Gallery curators told me that it weighs a ton, which is probably why the artist decided to keep it in the university.
I'm glad. I think it looks great in the rock garden beside the Manuel V. Pangilinan Center for Student Leadership along
my favorite brick path.
Did you see me reflected on the glass window of the first photo? :)
See what's reflecting what at James' Weekend Reflections.
