The Embrace of the Redeemer
From RioGringa comes this amazing video of a projection that was done on the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio. Scenes of Rio are shown, followed by an amazing sequence in which the statue appears to actually bring it's hands to it's chest in an embrace. The whole piece was done as part of a campaign against sexual abuse of children and teens.
Would that Rio--and Brazil as a whole--would embrace the true Christ, who indeed stands with arms outstretched to embrace them.
Side note: The accompanying music is by Brazilian composer Villa Lobos.
