RUACH

Addie Klotz Health Center, California State University Northridge
2002

The installation ‘Ruach’ consists of four hanging transparent voile panels with a silk screened poem, an embroidered fabric swing, and a transparent fabric ceiling scattered with floss silk tree seeds, all suspended 22ft above the ground. 

‘The Girl on the Swing’ by poet Chungmi Kim

She sees the mountain
upside down

with her long hair
sweeping the fallen leaves
she swings like a pendulum

From the lagoon at sunset
a hundred swallows fly away

wishing them back whistles softely
and downward she falls into
the sky.
