Candles of the World by Monika Cate age: 56 country: Germany Photos of candlelight vigils around the globe before the Iraq war 2003 make up the dress, which is protected by a cloak in many colors, the seam of the dress shows pictures of war. The head is covered with the names of cities, in which the candlelight vigils took place and with feather-like adornments as a means to point out how lightweight any peace effort is, how easy it can be blown away or blown out like the candles. This was one of the pieces in an exhibit called the Peace Prayers Project 2003, which was installed at the Goldenstein Gallery in Sedona, AZ. It was a display of six life-sized figures with the masked faces and hands of their maker’s, which represented our visions for peace.
