Seed of Truce

This participatory art installation was commissioned by Canada's Governor General and CODE for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

 

People were given a piece of paper and a pen and asked:

What is your contribution to peace?

The paper was then folded like a maple seed, a small led was taped to it and sent up in the air through a 25m tube.

As days went by more an more seeds created a giant magical cloud of translucent paper and pulsing lights that showed how every contribution is needed to achieve something big.

 

Beautiful music composed by Tom Pettapiece.
