If not all the works received an award, for me, they were all winners. I enjoyed seeing each of them and their significance.
The work from Shanghai, True Story and Hachiko, faithful dog, from Tokyo were the two works that moved me the most, and still do.
For me, all the horticultural and environmental sculptures were winners. All of them have amazed me.
I hope you enjoyed this virtual tour of this beautiful exhibition as much as I did.
Thank you for your visit! ....
Have a nice day 🙂!
