An artist's mangrove

Filipino artist Impy Pilapil, best known for her glass and stone sculptures, has had an interactive installation in the campus of the Ateneo de Manila University since February titled "Interactive: 12 Human Senses." Aside from providing a lovely touch of color to the grounds, it was actually fun playing with them. My favorites were two musical pieces. I'm speaking in the past tense because I discovered last week that they're being removed one by one. First to go was "Music Chamber," my favorite. I used a friend's photo of it to illustrate an April post in my other blog. This photo shows the bamboo "Chime Halo," the second of my favorites, and the showcase piece "The Mangrove – Nature's Embrace." I took this photo last week and when I passed by the area early this week, the colorful mangrove was gone. I'm going to miss them.
