As I was going through my photos for this weeks
It's a stunning work of art, my photos do not do it justice.
I love that Oppenheimer seems to pay little or no deference to the fact that it's a catholic church floor he's designing .
You are greeted at the water font by the twelve zodiac signs and then ushered up the aisle by what looks to me like a Japanese river god, but maybe it's meant to be God pouring forth life, or something!
It's been a few years since I took these photos, I'll have to go back with my camera and get the full story.
I cant remember, but I've a feeling Adam and Eve should be around somewhere.

Beautiful pictures. Beautiful tile work!
How bizarre to have the zodiac signs in a chapel of all places!
An amazing piece of work, thank you for posting your photos.

absolutely stunning!.. I have never seen anything like it... thanks for stopping by mine. :-)
wow what a gorgeous mosaic.
these are quite wonderful, extending thought of what should and shouldn't be in a chapel. I really love the door, and seeing water in the path makes me cringe a bit after flooding in my area last month. Even if it is symbolic.
