An article by the Downtown Phoenix organization!
Commissioned by Valley Metro. The fiber-reinforced plastic body is light and translucent but allows for a charge of color both day and night.
“The sculpture is internally lit to serve as a beacon in the night. It signifies a nexus to South Phoenix, where much of this city originates.
It honors the cyclical nature of life in our community, and the resiliency of its people. The light inside is a metaphor for the fire within all of us to thrive in this environment.
I hope Phoenicians will find meaning in its strength, and I hope it will inspire them to progress our legacy as people of the desert.” (@isaac.caruso on Instagram)
