Queen Beatrix visits the East West Forum

On the day she opened the East West Forum, the queen told us she would visit the symposium site when the work would be in progress.

As I knew that the queen would come unexpectedly on a certain day, I was prepared. The sculptors were surprised to see her again.

Here the Japanese sculptors were constructing the concrete foundations of the grid representing basis of the illusion of civilization theme.
