Libeskind LED

It is Yom Kippur.  Here is a chandelier by an important Jewish designer, Daniel Libeskind.


Why does it matter that he is Jewish?  It does not.  For all I know he could be an atheist.  But I think Yom Kippur is about survival, and survival includes not just physical/biological survival, but cultural--that one's offspring survive to create anew--whether that be art, furnishings, poetry, or other people.
It looks exactly like and no different than his buildings, his furniture. 
I think that is interesting and essay-worthy.

P to the S--was this ever made or installed, except in Second Life????
