The artwork titled “Open-Air Peace Chapel” was created by artist Maya Lin between 1988 and 1989. This installation, made from stone, aligns with the Environmental (Land) Art movement.
The artwork features a thoughtfully arranged circle of stones set against a natural landscape. The simple yet profound composition of stones forms an enclosure that evokes the idea of a chapel without traditional architectural elements. The open-air structure invites contemplation and an appreciation of the surrounding environment, blending seamlessly into the natural landscape. Positioned within a grassy field, the stone circle contrasts the verdant backdrop and rolling hills visible in the distance, embodying a harmonious integration of art and nature.
