Artist Statement

Whispering Peace is inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of prayer flags that fly with hopes of peace. An on-site station with blank flags invites Atlanta BeltLine travelers to tie a flag inscribed with their own prayer. Whispering Peace transformed from the few flags pictures here to hundreds, blowing colorfully in the breeze.
