RIBBONS AND COLOR



I love when art has a deeper meaning and meaningful message with its audience.

Well an exhibit at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York does just that, where Brazilian artist Rivane Neuenschwander's Eu desejo o seu desejo / I Wish Your Wish (2003) exhibit is on display through September 19.

Walk by gallery walls that are lined with thousands of silk ribbons in every shade of the rainbow; each is printed with one of 60 wishes. The wishes are real and submitted by people from around the globe. The installation was based off a reciprocal-wish practice at the church of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim in Salvador, Brazil. Belief has it that a wish is granted when the ribbon falls off.

Optimism and Positivity are always in Fashion.

Stay Stylish!
