photos :)


haven't posted photos for quite a while. unfort. my sakura photos are generally uninspiring, so i shan't be posting much of those. was at roppongi hills today, though, and took a couple of interesting pictures:


not sure what i was trying to do with this first photo, cos everything turned out to not be in focus. but i thought it looked pretty interesting. this is another picture of the same sculpture.

The name of this huge spider sculpture is Maman. Sculpted by Louise Bourgeois. According to some website: "Maman is the largest spider sculpture ever made by Bourgeois. This spectacular arachnid alludes to the strength of the mother with metaphors of spinning, weaving, nurture and protection....Bronze casts of Maman are on permanent display at the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea, MoriArtCenter, Tokyo, Japan and the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Canada."
