A Calder impression

Dar Al Aytam Al Islamiyya (The home of Moslim Orphans), as with every year does some sort of installation in different places of the city to coincide with Ramadan the month where donors are generous more than any... This year, while depicting the phases of the moon in different colors, I could not but remember Alexander Calder's Les Ballons... Both works are deceptively simplistic, stunningly cheerful, and childish in their own adult false-innocence way.
