Tokujin Yoshioka. Rainbow Church, window composed of 500 glass prisms, 2010.

Artist Tokujin Yoshioka:

"The idea of this architecture project 'Rainbow Church' dates back to when I was in (my) early 20s.

When I was in France for a business trip, I went to Vence, a commune located near Nice. There, I visited the Chapelle du Rosaire, which Henri Matisse, a French painter, created in his last years. I was engrossed in the beauty of the light that the chapel created."

Vence, France.

If you had asked ethnobotanist Tim Plowman what the central mystery of the universe was, he might have said: that plants can eat light.

A mystery also rendered in glass by Henri Matisse.
