Expanse
by: Laurence Renzo Verbeck
from: San Francisco, CA
year: 2023
Expanse takes Vitruvian Man as a starting point, and subverts it. The figure is female, no longer bound by geometry; the arms, morphing to wings, extend beyond. She is forward of, and greater than the circle, growing out of the ring into something other. New and limitless experience. Geometry is the basis of art and language, it is the starting point of who we are as a species. But it is not the end of who we are. Expanse is a reminder that our solace and burgeoning reside in both the honoring and challenging of geometry. That we live best when we become the ground where rigidity and expansion meet and resolve.

Temple Anam Cara by A Celtic Light and Obsydian Studios creation
from: San Francisco, CA
year: 2023
Anam Cara is an ancient Celtic phrase referring to the concept of the “soul friend” in spirituality. Temple Anam Cara intertwines a Celtic Tree of Life upon an Aztec Step Pyramid, an homage to the ancestral heritages of our co-creators. The shared belief in this concept has inspired the creation of this sculpture. We recognize that the path of wisdom is woven by countless cultures and civilizations, each offering unique insights into the nature of existence – to celebrate the shared connections of our Soul Friends that have guided and inspired deeper connections to the universe’s beauty. At the heart of Temple Anam Cara lies a deep belief in the unity of love, light, and consciousness—a recognition that all ancient traditions converge in their quest for higher truth. The base sanctuary is adorned by murals, mirrors and LEDs to welcome all to offered experiences. This sculpture is a creation in honor of the indigenous wisdom embraced by the creators of Temple Anam Cara, a shared expression of love of community, life and earth.

There Will Be Mud - Mona by Miao He

“Mona” is an 8-meter tall metal rabbit sculpture, resembling a plush toy with a pink exterior, standing gracefully in the desert landscape. Representing the theme of ANIMALIA, the installation serves as a symbol of love, warmth, and childhood memories. As participants gather around “Mona,” they engage to have deep connection between each other. At night, illuminated by lights, the pink rabbit becomes a recognizable landmark.
