A recent walk through Central Park brought us some enlightenment.
We stumbled across a new art exhibit: Enlightened Universe, created by Spanish artist Cristobal Gabarron.

| Enlightened Universe, Cristobal Gabarron (2015) |
The exhibit commemorates the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations Organization following World War II.
The silver reflective orb represents the earth (the sphere is precisely 1/1,000,000th the size of earth) while the 70 figures represent the UN's 70 years since its founding. The figures are multi-colored and holding hands signifying tolerance, solidarity and shared responsibility for achieving "peaceful and prosperous lives
in a sustainable and just world".

| Some random hottie photobombs the art exhibit, upsetting the poetic symmetry of 70 figures for the UN's 70 years. Oh well. A year from now, symmetry will be restored. |
 |
| Same hottie. She just wouldn't move. |
The exhibit is a meaningful addition to Central Park.
P.S. Buckminster Fuller called and wants his geodesic sphere back.
