"Evidence" - a work by Dick Byer

In 2010, German sculptor and photographer Dick Byer created his religious work "Beweiss" ("Evidence"), pictured here. David Boyer photographed "Beweiss" so that Dick himself is reflected on the polished surface of the ball. In early 2011 we posted this remarkable photo on our blog, along with a description of the piece written in German by Dick himself.

We have re-posted the photo with Dick's written description in English.
