A strange sculpture park in Ireland that terrifies (12 photos)

What a meditation park looks like, where people under the age of 28 are not allowed to enter.





It's called Victoria's Way, and the sculptures here at first glance as if created by someone with a sick imagination. So what prompted the owner of the park on such monsters?

The creator of the park is Victor Langheld, according to him In other words, this park was created for meditation. It would seem, how can meditate surrounded by such monsters? But Victor is sure that it is possible, The important thing is to know when to come here. The thing is, it's not just a park. for walking, it has a specific target audience - people older 28 years.



So why such an age limit? First, the owner I liked that people with their children come to the park. Agree walking here is a very strange entertainment for families. The second reason - the sculpture garden was created for people who have a crisis. By Victor's idea, you need to come here for self-reassessment, to think about your own realization and be inspired to a new stage in life. If everything goes well, then the guest will leave the park enlightened and open to new achievements.

So what serves as spiritual food at Victoria's Way? Creepy sculptures, each of which has its own meaning. Total there are fourteen sculptures, and some of them give me goosebumps. Everything starts still at the entrance to the park: it looks like a toothed tunnel vagina dentata, which is guarded by snakes. Are you surprised by this appearance?



In fact, this image is popular in world mythology, found among the peoples of India, Southeast Asia, South America, and even among indigenous peoples of the Russian north.

The next sculpture is no less epic: it is a child being born from a human fist, possibly rotting, as clearly visible knuckles. Of course, this is a symbol of the beginning of the human path.



Another creepy image is of a woman breastfeeding a child. One her leg is covered with scales, and she seems to repel and at the same time attracts the child. The meaning is quite clear - the separation of the child from mother, personality development.



Not far from the woman is a man dissecting himself in two. On his sword is the inscription "create or", which literally translates as "create or...". Sculpture is also dedicated to self-determination: one must follow your purpose and idea. Naturally, the goal of human existence is always associated with mental and physical torment.



Statues full of pain do not end there: there is also a terrible a boatman whose ship goes to the bottom of a lake covered with green algae. The boatman's face is distorted from pain and torment, he symbolizes burnout.



Victor Langheld himself says that the central sculpture of the park is this is a finger on which the inscription: "Create or die" flaunts. Here you are free to guess which finger it is.



Another sculpture is an emaciated Buddha. He sits in the lotus position in the utmost concentration in search of his path.



The rest of the statues look quite harmless: here is Nirvana Man, and he is on the path to enlightenment.



Next is Lord Shiva sitting with his eyes closed in the middle pond. It looks like he has found his way and is calmly moving along it. A statue symbolizes a mature person who was able to realize his life.



Well, the rest of the statues are full of optimism: this is Ganapati in a completely different poses. In Hinduism, this god was depicted with the head of an elephant, he symbolizes wisdom and prosperity. Ganesha, as they call it god, one of the main in Hinduism, in the park of his nine incarnations: he plays musical instruments, reads and looks like he knows zen. Actually, as befits a god of well-being.



The idea of Victoria's Way is that after walking among these statues, full of contradictions and contrasts, the guests will be enlightened and enlightenment. Well, what if that doesn't happen? It remains to be hoped that visitors have stepped over the midlife crisis and have already found themselves.
