Sculptor makes perishable art in Antarctica

Artists see the world differently. Maybe that's why sculptor Lita Albuquerque decided to craft an environmental work near this icy outpost meant to be in full bloom for just one day.



Her "Stellar Axis", on a site about 600 feet (182 meters) in diameter, consisted of 99 blue Fibreglass spheres of varying sizes in a pattern mirroring the paths of stars at the austral summer solstice.

All the spheres were in place only on December 22.
