Catherine Kapikian, former director of the Luce Center for Arts and Religion at Wesley, installed a new design at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center a week ago. Kapikians work now resides in a space, designated as a meditation area, across from the surgical ICU. This colorful commissioned needlework was inspired by the Fibonacci series. This mathematical sequence of parts that appears in abundance, found in such places as pine cones, faces of sunflowers, and positions of leaves on a stem, is this meditation space’s unifying feature and theme. As a mathematical principle that expands without termination, the concept brings infinity into the smallest of spaces. May those of you confined in your seemingly small world, wrought through suffering and its imposed questions, see through this work that a future of infinite possibilities might be at hand, says Kapikian.
