Floating Echo
Point State Park [ venue info ]
6/7/2013 through 6/16/2013
Come to the park to see a truly unique piece of art --- a transparent inflatable statue of Buddha sitting in lotus on the water.
Gautama Buddha (563 BCE - 483 BCE) was a sage in ancient India who believed that a balance between indulgence and self-mortification leads to wisdom. Through the statue one can see the nature, landscape and architecture around the water. Its subtle presence embraces and reflects the surroundings, both natural and man-made. It is seeming present and absent at the same time.
