Beginning and End of a Rainbow

The Rainbow

It is a sculpture in steel and colored glass that represents a virtual point where there are both the beginning and end of a rainbow.

Rainbows have fascinated people for centuries, and many cultures worldwide have developed myths, legends, and stories to explain their origin and significance. Some of the common myths and beliefs associated with rainbows from various cultures are the Rainbow as a Bridge (the connection between the mortal world and the divine or spiritual realms), the Rainbow as a Divine Promise (in the Christian tradition, the Rainbow is associated with the biblical story of Noah's Ark), the Rainbow as a Symbol of Transformation (Native American), the Rainbow as a Trickster (Norse Mythology), the Rainbow Serpent (South America) often associated with water and fertility, the Rainbow as a Pot of Gold (Irish Folklore, where the leprechaun is said to hide his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow), and the Rainbow as a Symbol of Beauty (Greek Mythology). These myths and beliefs about rainbows reflect the cultural diversity and richness of human storytelling.

While the specific interpretations may vary, rainbows are generally seen as symbols of wonder, hope, and connection between the earthly and the divine in many cultures worldwide.

The sculpture is made with welded curved pipes and handmade colored glass tiles.
