Daytime fireworks by artist Cai Guo-Qiang

"When the Sky Blooms with Sakura" by contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang recently illuminated the Japanese skies with a display of daytime fireworks, illuminating the Iwaki coastline in Fukushima. Commissioned by Saint Laurent, this mesmerising tribute paid homage to the lives lost in various tragedies, including the devastating 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the relentless three-year-long Coronavirus pandemic, which claimed the lives of millions worldwide.
With meticulous precision, the artwork, that spanned an astonishing 400 metres, unfolded in three visually captivating sequences, unfolding an orchestra of smoky shapes that were both explosively captivating and profoundly poetic. Each explosion was artfully arranged to form intricate compositions, such as a dozen white chrysanthemums and blue waves symbolising the relentless force of a tsunami.

Wow 😮 every seconds

This would have been epic at night being lit from behind by the fireworks and from the front with some supplemental lighting.

That is exactly what they did in one of their recent works. They lit their daytime firework with other bright fireworks that lit up the sky.

Nice, but I'm sure our atmosphere, doesn't agree.
