The Lotus Has Landed

Choi Jeong Hwa’s kinetic sculpture, Breathing Flower

This week the Asian Art Museum is opening a new exhibit titled Phantoms of Asia.  As part of the show a sculpture titled Breathing Flower by Korean artists Choe Jeong Hwa has been installed across the street in the Civic Center Plaza.  There’s more about the piece on the museum blog.  It’s really fun.  My only criticism is I wish there was more.  Imagine about 50 of the flowers filling Civic Center.
