Team Canada, Ontario “Memories from My Youth”
|
Now
that I am a princess, I realize how special my time was, living
near Mt Fuji, at the family retreat. Among my favorite memories
from my youth, are those of running through the banzai garden
and playing under the tiny bridge, in the stoney brook. |

Life's
Wheel of Time The ancient symbol depicting a serpent eating its
tail to form a circle is the "Wheel of Time and LIfe".
It represents the cyclical nature of things, eternal return and
other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they
end. The winged Demon represents those bad things that we must
control to limit damage to the wheel and its cycle. |

sculpture represents Quetzalcoatl, god of life and dead in Mexican

| Team Russia “Mirage” |
In
our work, we try to ask ourselves the question "what is going
on in our heads?" We wonder if maybe nothing is real of if
just a part of what we are thinking is real. The hand holding
the head in this sculpture serves to symbolize that a connection
is needed so that we don't become crazy and so that we preserve
our connection with love and peace. |

“String Theory” |
"Each
of our souls is like the vibrating string of the violin; resonating
from the most profound sub-atomic level to the celestial reaches
beyond. Music is the portal that allows us to connect our spirit

“Leaning Out For Love” |
Love
is a balancing act as two lives combine in diverse ways. But nothing
is possible without a risky reaching out, represented by our dangling
heart. When things work out well, convergence is achieved and
balance is restored. |
