A sizable creative project, Kari Kola claims this to be "the largest site-specific light artwork ever created." The artistic venture illuminates Ireland's Connemara mountains with beautiful hues of blue, green, purple and so on. The intent is to create breathtaking scenery that calls attention to the mesmerizing topography of the region. The project by Kari Kola is titled 'Savage Beauty,' referencing the works of Oscar Wilde.
