Portal of Evolution

My first morning in Reno I lucked upon a beautiful sculpture called Portal of Evolution by artist Bryan Tedrick.  It was first displayed at Burning Man in 2009 and is designed to turn in the wind, though I doubt it does that often at this sheltered location.  It would spin like a top in Chicago!


The base is meant to represent a cocoon, the entire sculpture of course representing transformation.


I wish the weather would start evolving into something resembling spring around here.

 My car when I left work on Monday

Growing, changing, transforming, evolving...a process we're all involved in throughout our lives.  Some of us fight it, some revel in it.  Most of the time I consciously seek it.  Except when it comes to things like joint pain and wrinkles!  I am perfectly fine with gray hair and wisdom through experiences though.

How about you?  Do you fight change or embrace it?

    I'm not sure I revel in it but I certainly won't fight it. When the gray started coming in and just let it. One of my better decisions.

    I love how out of scale that sculpture is!
    I am mostly resistant to change, though I don't really do anything to fight it. Except complain.

    I can accept change for as in most cases you really cannot do much about it except control how it affects you. I went to Burning Man for 15 years. It changed and not for the better with now 20 times more people attending than before. So I quit going 5 years or so ago. I do miss the art though.

    Good sculpture.
    I'm definately a change embracer - going grey is strangely fascinating and don't even mind being a little greaky about the joints (just hoping it doesn't turn to pain too fast)
