<p>In the beginning of 2008, Hans Godo Frabel and the artists of the Frabel Studio started working on the exhibition that can be found in this book. Frabel was so impressed with McKee Botanical Garden that he decided to introduce some incredible new installations to his botanical garden exhibition inspired by, and especially for, McKee Botanical Garden. Since the Garden has a strong focus on Water Lilies and Lotus flowers, Frabel let himself be inspired by these amazing flowers to create a number of extraordinary Water Lily and Lotus sculptures. Frabel also created several large compositions, specifically for the water settings at McKee Botanical Garden, such as the Aces and Deuces, Jokers Wild sculpture that consists of 13 jokers, balancing on playing cards. This sculpture is a symbolic expression of life's journeys through ups and downs, highs and lows. It shows the risks and challenges we face and the gambles we have to make in our lives. Further in this line, Frabel created 15 large clowns on large spheres, entitled Balancing. Frabel tries to tell his story to enjoy life like these clowns, as if it is one big carnival. These clowns, balancing on large colorful floating spheres, compliment the beauty of the ponds at McKee Botanical Garden and reflect delightfully into the water.</p>
