Floating Dreams

Totally Thames has a track record of interesting installations on the river, and 2016 was to be no exception.

This time it "Floating Dreams" by South Korean artist Ik-Joong Kang which was moored between the Tate Modern and St. Pauls next to the Millennium Bridge.

Each face was built of elements showing drawings from those that fled North Korea for the South, never to return, of their lost remembered hometowns. At the top a child gazed upwards at the cathedral, lit up on the horizon:
At a time when the world seems awash with refugees, it was a moving and dramatic installation.
