TAIPEI, Taiwan—Clad in black, yellow, blue, and white clothing, thousands of people assembled in Taipei’s iconic Liberty Square to form a massive image—measuring 158 feet by 184 feet—of a serene-looking woman sitting in meditation with her right palm lifted.
Over three days of intensive labor, more than 100 local residents first laid down color-coordinated mats that created the outline of the image. Then, on Nov. 25, more than 6,400 practitioners of the spiritual discipline Falun Gong sat down for meditation in the formation.
