Challenge - Day 17

An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)

There is a very cool place in Dallas called The Nasher Sculpture Center. I have been often and I love the place. This is a picture of the grounds, very peaceful for being in the heart of a major city:

One of my favorite pieces is Quantum Cloud XX (tornado) by Antony Gormley.

It is a beautiful sculpture, it makes me think of people in today's society; there seems to be a whirlwind of things to distract us. It also makes me think that sometimes we have to look past all the defenses; their spikes and thorns, of someone to see the real person inside.
