Sawaya’s LEGO Life Reflections 2: Celebrate Difference
We continue with our life reflections inspired by Nathan Sawaya’s The Art of The Brick exhibition at the ArtScience Museum, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Sawaya’s TORSO series posts a challenge to today’s body and beauty ideal and just might save many people a lot of money and stress.
Nathan’s Reflection:
Celebrate Difference.
If everybody looked and were the same,

The circle, square and triangle
are the fundamental building blocks of all things.
And the colours red, blue and yellow
are the primary colors of our world.

Feel free to use these suggestions, customize them, or come up with ideas of your own. Read more…

Nathan’s Reflection:
“Love lives forever. It outlives youth and a flat stomach and a full head of hair. And that’s what makes it beautiful.”
