First
of its kind, "The Flow of Life" is a 9.5 metres installation made 100%
with waste. commissioned for the new chapel of Ada Lovelace CoE secondary
school, open to all faiths.
The left side is devoted to self
reflection, meditation and floor space for rugs. As such, it is be
primarily based on calm, introspective colours, such as blues and
greens. As we move towards the right, we come closer to the benches and
the altar, where vibrant reds and gold triumph to recall purity and
light. As a finishing touch, 3 accents of gold to represent the holy
trinity, and finally gold as a main hue at the end, to add a frame of
warm light around the pulpit.
The Flow of Life is a depiction of
what all faiths have in common: both the belief that life does not end
with death but merely flows into a different stage, and the present
moment, when we are indeed all sharing the miracle of life. Finally, it
is a celebration of all our diversities, which just like hues and
shades, once together create the rich canvas of life. Or, in this year's
school terms: different parts, one body.
In such a beautiful building so thoroughly focused on sustainability, an Art for Trash project is just meant to be!
