Mariko Mori invites us to reflect on our common humanity through Peace Crystal, a work currently on display in Venice, in the garden of Palazzo Corner della Ca'Granda, seat of the Metropolitan City, visible from the Grand Canal, and which it will be possible to visit free only upon reservation until October 7, via the Bloomberg Connects app, or by booking the visit through the Palazzo Diedo ticket office.

The concept of the work reflects Buddhist philosophy: it symbolizes the body as a container of the soul eternal, which cyclically passes through life, death and rebirth. The Peace Crystal (Peace Crystal) symbolizes this unity, connecting the celestial and the earthly and embodying the eternal soul that is within us.

After the Venice exhibition, Peace Crystal will be donated to Ethiopia and permanently installed in a cave, thus honoring the origins of man which began in Ethiopia, the cradle of evolution for over six million years. The artwork wants to remind us that we all belong to one tree genealogical, and that all individuals in the world are part of a shared humanity.
