Clematis says farewell to “Los Trompos”

Ruby Rosenthal, Entertainment Editor

August 24, 2016

Los Trompos, or the Spinning Tops, are shown here on Clematis’ Great Lawn. The interactive art piece has been open since June 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and will be leaving the waterfront on Aug. 28.

For months, spinning hues of turquoise, magenta and mauve have populated Clematis’ Great Lawn, providing free entertainment for teens and families in Palm Beach County. Piggybacking off of the success of the Musical Swings last spring, Clematis’ newest interactive art piece, Los Trompos, or the Spinning Tops, were an instant hit when they arrived on June 2.

These 3-dimensional woven tops were created by Hector Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena, two Mexican designers influenced by the world around them. Each top has a unique shape and is inspired by nature. They also have a traditional Latin American design, architecture and folk art. Open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m, Esrawe and Cadena invite residents and visitors to interact, engage and enjoy until Aug. 28, when the tops will move from their spot on the waterfront and will be dispersed throughout West Palm Beach.

About the Contributor

Ruby Rosenthal, Editor-In-Chief

Ruby Rosenthal is a third-year staffer and co-Editor-in-Chief of The Muse. She's obsessed with learning new things, whether it be through reading articles in her favorite publications or dropping everything at 7:30 to watch Jeopardy on weeknights. If she had ample free time, she'd probably be reading, but for now, her spare hours are spent studying for too many AP classes for her own good. She is unsure what the future holds, but she hopes to work in a field that gives her the opportunity to give people a voice whose voices usually go unheard. Rosenthal hopes to attend college up north, where there are four seasons a year.
