Labyrinth for Reflection & the Generation of Love [No. 9]
Welcome to Labyrinth [No. 9]! This artwork was created for Jersey City and is the original design of local artist Katelyn Halpern. To enjoy the labyrinth in a traditional way, walk the path starting at the mouth, follow it to the center, and then follow it back out. Unlike mazes, labyrinths are a single twisting pathway without dead ends, forks, or tricks. There are no choices to make - simply things to notice. You may give yourself over to the path and release your mind to its wanderings, or perhaps carry with you a question, idea, or feeling, and watch how it changes as you move along.
