Light tree

BBCAmerica has just reported that a “traditional Christmas tree usually adorns Brussels‘ central square. But this year, an abstract tree has taken its place, sparking protests.”   The abstract tree in question is a piece of abstract art put in place by the major’s office to go along with this year’s theme of Light. It has sparked discussion, a petition to have it removed, and a Facebook page against the art piece.
