209. Fireflies on the Water


Hello! Sorry it's been a while, I had a weekend filled with lots of pics so now I'm just behind on posts! Saturday was such a refreshing, busy day--I went into New York City and saw so many of my favorite people. I had brunch with my sister Kel at the Whitney Museum in the morning, met up with my friend MARC afterwards who I hadn't seen in WAY too long for lunch, and then met my friend Andie who I ALSO hadn't seen in forever for coffee! Such amazing, creative, talented people--look out for them! 

Then finally I met back up with Kel at the Whitney to go to our time slot for Yayoi Kusama's Fireflies on the Water exhibit. The exhibit is a small dark room with mirrors on all sides, a shallow pool on the ground, and lots of small, multi-colored lights hanging from the ceiling. All together, these elements are meant to create a seemingly infinite, alternate space. The best part about the exhibit is that you get a ticket for a 1 minute time slot so you can go into the room completely ALONE for 60 seconds!! The exhibit was incredible, but I am big time regretting not bringing my phone in with me and sneaking some quick pictures :/ .....alksdjf!! Seriously considering going back, getting another ticket, and waiting in line again just to get those pics..............,,.O_o.......!!... anyways, it closes October 28th, so read more about it here and go see it if you have time and you're in New York!
