Images from the Torch Run

The 2002 Olympic Torch embodies several themes: "Land of Contrast -- Fire and Ice," "Light the Fire Within" and "Taming of the West -- the Past and Present." It is like a fiery icicle in motion, its curvature representing the dynamics of speed and fluidity. All who witness and participated in the event had a single word to describe the event. Inspiring. These photos were taken by NØTRK who shadowed event organizer Cati Demasi during the event.
