THE RED SEA sculpture / mural |
The
Centro Maguen David is a new religious and community center in Mexico
City. The mural occupies a wall 120 ft by 15ft and has a hidden skylight
above it, bathing it in light. The sweeping rhythm of shapes suggest
the biblical description of the parting of the Red Sea and the journey
of the persecuted to salvation. The rhythm of forms open out in a
huge surge from a central U - shaped symbol representing the passageway.
The mural comes to life as a play of light and shadow, changing its
form and its mood as the day progresses as the light shifts upon
it, animating the shapes and transforming their flow.
