THE FACE OF OBAMA
As you know WOF believes that life is change and to know that will help us in everything we do. And Change is the platform message on which Presidential candidate Barak Obama stands.It's apt then that we mention a massive project taking place in Barcelona right now.
The artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada plans to create a gigantic face of Obama sculpted from gravel and sand, which will cover nearly 2.5 acres (1 hectare) of Barcelona beachfront before the U.S. elections.
"The size of the piece is intrinsic to its value," the artist, Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada, said Saturday.
He hopes it will be big enough to be seen on Google Earth.
The portrait of Obama's face will be 445 feet long by 264 feet wide (139.28 by 82.67 meters) and the artist hopes to have it done by late next week or no later than November 3, the day before the U.S. elections.
The materials have been donated, along with bulldozers and their drivers. The crews will initially spread the materials along white lines, and other markers that will be laid out according to the sketch.
Then, the artist's technical team will direct volunteers with garden rakes to put the final touches on the materials, making sure the various colors are spread properly on the ground in order to depict Obama's eyes, hair, cheeks and collar, according to the plans.
Rodriguez-Gerada said he'll need to raise about $18,700 (15,000 euros) for other costs, such as rakes and gloves for volunteers, documentation, even portable toilets for the crew.
He said it's his "biggest work ever, in scale and complexity."
Oc course the portrait won't last forever but serves as a timely remember that we must change and change again.
Of course we shall be voting for Obama for president too.
