Mariko Mori


             I think this piece is very interesting. This sculpture has a very religious feel to it. I think this sculpture is a fusion of art, technology, religion (Buddhism) and the idea of universal spiritual consciousness. This piece of sculpture is symbolic of oneness and unity in the world, and the artist, Mori uses cutting edge technology and material to create a strikingly beautiful vision for a better future.

            This sculpture represents the disappearance of boundaries between the self and others. It can be interpret as a symbol of the acceptance of otherness and a model for overcoming national and cultural borders. Furthermore, this sculpture represents the world existing as one interconnected organism.  I think this work also represents a Buddha eye that sees everybody in the world and creates a feeling of unity.  The stair represents opportunity to enter into this oneness with the Buddha.
