CLEVELAND The Cleveland Museum of Art has taken an outside the box approach when dealing with the pandemic. While projects and exhibits that spent years planning were delayed, the museum came up with an interesting plan. I thought it was a wonderful idea, Barbara Tannenbaum, curator of photography at the museum, says. It enables us to show things that we really haven’t seen in a long, long time.

The Stargazer
POETRY/ARTIFACT
Through this tunnel of time
Must mean something in the scheme of things
If human beings leave behind bones, books
Vases, paintings, all manner of artifacts
Proof of existence and intention
What are they but testaments to life
Searching for life beyond all limits
Which time, long time passing
Cannot easily erase.
Leaving a trail of significances
That thread all the ages

On a visit to the Cleveland Museum of Art, the corridors of the Cleveland Museum of Modern Art lead this small marble statuette–The Stargazer. She was tiny, but looking at her, sent shivers up my spine. I could feel a glimmer of an intention, of trying to comprehend a yet unsolved mystery.
