Simple Gestures of Beauty




Here is another of the spring explosions around campus. What I find endearing about this set up is the attempt at classicism, with the cheap ceramic urns decorating the plain (and ugly) passageway.

Even a ceramic urn from Home Depot can give grace to hard concrete and dark bricks. Who knows, some day a sculpture may decide to put the real thing there, influenced by this simple gesture. Or better yet, an architect could improve on the cold passageway, to meet the urn halfway.
