Le Tournesol

OVERVIEW

Planet Metalioisis, full of scrap metals and industrial materials. An enormous egg sits perched on the little planet. Crack. A mask appears and takes in the tiny planet, the night sky spreading above, and its new form. And as the mask looks up, it sees a shower of meteor light, streaking across the sky. And one streaks closer and closer and closer and crashes into the little planet. It's a little seed, stretching its fresh leaves in the starlight. The next morning, the seed has shot up, up into the sky with an enormous sunflower stalk. Past the clouds, past the stars, past the moon, disappearing into the distance. With metal scrap, the mask builds a ladder and begins its journey up, up, up.....

as submitted by the artist(s)

Planet Metalioisis, full of scrap metals and industrial materials.

An enormous egg sits perched on the little planet. Crack. A mask appears and takes in the tiny planet, the night sky spreading above, and its new form.

And as the mask looks up, it sees a shower of meteor light, streaking across the sky. And one streaks closer and closer and closer and crashes into the little planet.

It's a little seed, stretching its fresh leaves in the starlight.

The next morning, the seed has shot up, up into the sky with an enormous sunflower stalk. Past the clouds, past the stars, past the moon, disappearing into the distance.

With metal scrap, the mask builds a ladder and begins its journey up, up, up.....
