Spirit of the Earth

A striking sculpture at Morton Arboretum -- my first visit there and I couldn't have asked for a nicer autumn day.

That's really creepy Taffy, but also beautiful

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Yes, it was a fascinating and unnerving sculpture. We spent time looking at it from different angles (as did a lot of people there). In person it's both soothing and unnerving, the way she rises from the soil and is opening her chest to the people around. LOTS of discussion and a range of interpretations! But it was truly a beautiful sculpture made of cement but looking like it was carved from wood.

What an amazing sculpture. Having the people included gives scale and added interest.

Wow, that's a wonderful sculpture. I agree with Sally about the people giving scale. It also makes the trees look like bushes!
