The current installation on the roof garden at the Met is literally on the roof garden. The work, by Pakistani artist Imran Qureshi, represents his emotional response to the senseless violence occurring in his country —and around the world—in recent decades.
The lush leaves worked into the blood-red paint evoke the artist's hope for regeneration and peace in the aftermath of manmade disasters.
What a fascinating piece of art, although I'm not sure I'd like to have people walking over it!
