Take a closer look
You only have to not pay attention for a moment, and you are already looking over this work by Joseph Semah. Literally, because his artwork can only be seen if you look at the paving stones. In the pavement of Folkingestraat, he made eleven bronze moon shapes; a lunar cycle from full moon to new moon. When all the shapes were put together, an eye would be created, with the full moon acting as a pupil. The word moon in Hebrew means eye and is also linked to the number eleven because in Hebrew, numbers are linked to words. For Semah, the moon cycle is a metaphor for the life cycle and the cycles that make up history and the future.
