If you take your eyes off it for just a moment, you’ll miss this work by Joseph Semah. Literally, because his artwork can only be seen when you look at the paving stones. In the paving of Folkingestraat, he created eleven bronze moon shapes; a lunar cycle from full moon to new moon. If all the shapes were to be joined together, they would form an eye, with the full moon acting as the pupil. The word for ‘moon’ means ‘eye’ in Hebrew and is also linked to the number eleven, as in Hebrew numbers are associated with words. For Semah, the lunar cycle serves as a metaphor for the cycle of life and the cycles from which history and the future are composed.
